2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · VV04 HOL

The Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 9 September 2025 at 44,613 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the five entries from 2022 to 2025. A failed test logged on the same date as the pass, 9 September 2025 at 44,613 miles, carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for a 2014 vehicle. The records show 35,018 miles in September 2022, rising to 38,917 by September 2023, 42,245 by September 2024, and 44,613 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,700 miles per year, confirming light use across its twelve years. No gaps exist between tests; the owner maintained continuous annual compliance with the DVSA schedule. With zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT data implies conscientious upkeep and no recurring wear trends. Low annual mileage reduces strain on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, though prolonged standing can still age rubber components and seals invisibly. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, brake caliper condition, and suspension mounts given the vehicle's age. The clean record offers strong assurance, but twelve years of age warrants verifying that fluids, cambelt if applicable, and brake hydraulics match the paper trail's apparent care.
