2014 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · VE64 KHM

The current roadworthiness status of this Volvo V40 is excellent, with the most recent MOT on 27 January 2026 at 121,583 miles resulting in a clean pass with zero defects. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to the 2022 and 2023 testing cycles, where the vehicle frequently required attention for tyre wear and brake pad thinning. The absence of advisories in the last two consecutive tests suggests the current owner has adopted a proactive approach to replacing consumables before they reach the legal minimum threshold. The vehicle has covered 121,583 miles over twelve years, which averages to approximately 10,132 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent and indicates regular, steady operation rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty mileage. The mileage accumulation between the January 2026 test and the February 2025 test was roughly 5,167 miles, confirming the car remains in active service. There are no concerning gaps in the MOT history, which provides confidence that the vehicle has been subjected to annual safety inspections without interruption. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering geometry, as the recurring tyre wear noted in 2022 and 2023 often points to tracking issues or worn bushes rather than just aggressive driving. While the recent clean passes are encouraging, check the inner edges of all four tyres to ensure the previous alignment faults have been fully rectified. Inspect the brake discs for signs of scoring or pitting, as the 2023 advisory for thin rear pads indicates the braking system is a primary consumable that requires periodic monitoring. Given the age and mileage, verify that the service history supports these MOT passes with evidence of regular oil and filter changes to ensure the engine and turbocharger remain in good health.
