2017 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · YN17 PMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 77,758 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor consumable issues, suggesting that maintenance has moved from reactive repairs to a more consistent standard. The absence of advisories in the latest test indicates that previous issues with tyres and suspension components have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,640 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 53,023 miles in February 2020 to the current 77,758 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which supports the reliability of the recorded odometer readings. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition and suspension health during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 72,718 miles flagged multiple tyres for cracking and perishing on both the nearside front and offside rear, while the 2022 failure at 62,667 miles involved a fractured offside front coil spring. These recurring issues with rubber components and suspension springs suggest that while the car is currently passing, the owner should verify that all four tyres are relatively fresh and that there is no audible knocking from the suspension during a test drive. While the mechanical history lacks serious structural or brake-related failures, the pattern of tyre degradation implies the vehicle may have been subject to environmental weathering or infrequent tyre replacements. Checking the age of the current tyres and inspecting the condition of the suspension bushes and dampers would be prudent to ensure the recent clean MOT reflects a well-maintained chassis rather than just the passing of a standard inspection.
