2015 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · WD15 CYC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 27 June 2025 at 76,852 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed the test on that same day due to a split offside front outer drive shaft boot and a nearside front tyre failing tread depth requirements. While these issues were rectified to secure the subsequent pass, the pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they triggered a test failure. At 76,852 miles over 11 years, the Volvo has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, with 9,191 miles covered between June 2024 and 2025, and another 9,072 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension area to ensure the replaced CV boot has not resulted in grease leakage or damage to the drive shaft itself. The 2024 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs, so the current rotors should be checked for uneven thickness or glazing to determine if they were replaced. Given the history of uneven tyre wear in both 2022 and 2025, a professional alignment check is necessary to rule out worn suspension bushes or geometry that are causing premature tyre degradation.
