2018 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · YC18 MLV

The vehicle shows a generally stable maintenance trend, though recent data suggests a slight decline in consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 66,024 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This follows a clean record in the 2024 and 2023 tests, indicating that while the mechanical integrity appears sound, the owner has recently neglected tyre maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 66,024 miles, averaging roughly 8,253 miles per year. The record shows steady progress from 36,662 miles in March 2021 to 66,024 miles in October 2025. No significant periods of long-term inactivity are evident from the annual mileage increments, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows recurring issues with tyre wear, specifically the offside front tyre in 2025 and the offside front tyre in March 2022. The presence of edge wear often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes. The failure in November 2022 due to a structural lump in the nearside front tyre and a nail in the nearside rear also suggests a history of impact damage or poor tyre management. Beyond the tyres, the absence of advisories regarding brake discs, pads, or exhaust emissions in the recent years is a positive indicator of general mechanical health. However, given the previous issues with tyre perishing and uneven wear, a physical inspection of the suspension components and wheel alignment is necessary to ensure no underlying steering geometry faults exist.
