2021 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · VC02 ALP

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy example, showing an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 September 2025 at 33,272 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the issues identified in the previous year were addressed, and the vehicle currently meets all minimum DVSA standards for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,654 miles per annum. Between the October 2024 test at 24,747 miles and the September 2025 test at 33,272 miles, the car covered 8,525 miles. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and preventing brake disc-spotting. A buyer should pay close attention to the front end during a physical inspection. The October 2024 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. While these were rectified by the latest test, uneven edge wear often points to an alignment issue or worn front suspension bushes. A physical check of the front wishbones and tracking geometry is advisable to ensure the vehicle is not tracking or prematurely consuming the next set of tyres.
