2016 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · UC64 ABC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 30,430 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one week prior at 30,398 miles. While the failure record shows no specific defects, the immediate re-test suggests a technicality or a minor non-compliance that was rectified quickly, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2023 and November 2023, where the car covered only 586 miles in ten months. Between November 2024 and November 2025, the mileage increased by 6,295 miles. This intermittent usage pattern suggests the car likely sits stationary for extended periods, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can increase the risk of perished rubber components or brake-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage neglect. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and test the calipers for seizing due to lack of use. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for sidewall cracking, as these rubber elements age through time rather than through distance traveled. Given the low mileage, verify the service history to ensure oil changes were performed annually, as fluids can degrade regardless of the mileage recorded.
