2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · WP13 AEC

The Volvo V40 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 184,729 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the full five-year MOT span, with every annual examination returning a fault-free result and no advisories logged at any stage. The mileage stands at 184,729 against a 2013 build, equating to roughly 14,210 miles per year and placing this car well above typical use for its age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 137,438 miles in February 2022, 149,995 in February 2023, 161,216 in March 2024, 172,801 in February 2025, and 184,729 in February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear, and the sparse but consistently clean history suggests the previous keeper kept to a disciplined test schedule without deferring examinations. Given the absence of any flagged items across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring mechanical faults or worsening wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of high-mileage consumables not always caught in a pass, particularly the timing belt interval, clutch wear, and underbody rust protection given the car's thirteen years and 184k mileage. The clean advisory sheet means no specific component demands urgent attention from the record itself. Treat the Volvo as mechanically sound on paper, but verify service history for cambelt and gearbox oil changes, since a fault-free MOT at this mileage does not confirm proactive maintenance of untested drivetrain internals.
