2022 Volvo XC40 + T4 Recharge Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YR72 VFA

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT inspection. On 16 October 2025 at 55,100 miles, the car passed the test with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and safety-critical components met all DVSA standards at the time of testing without flagging any recurring issues. The recorded mileage of 55,100 miles over approximately four years reflects an average annual usage of roughly 13,775 miles. This figure is higher than the national average for passenger vehicles of this age, suggesting consistent use, likely for motorway or long-distance commuting. While the October 2025 test is recent and positive, the accumulation of miles means the vehicle has seen significant operational operation which typically accelerates the wear on consumable components and suspension items. Given the high mileage profile, a buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of components most susceptible to high-frequency stress. Focus on the suspension assembly, specifically checking control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or cracking due to the mileage. The braking system should also be evaluated for uneven pad wear or signs of binding calipers, as high-mileage vehicles place greater strain on the hydraulic and mechanical braking hardware. Check the tyre condition for uneven wear patterns to ensure the alignment has not been compromised by the heavy usage. Although the MOT record shows no current faults, the age of the Volvo XC40 requires a close look at the chassis for any fluid leaks or early structural corrosion. The lack of historical advisories suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle well, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the hybrid drivetrain and cooling systems to ensure long-term reliability.
