2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · YT64 FSP

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT on 5 February 2026 at 125,809 miles. The testing history shows a pattern of intermittent failures that do not appear to stem from recurring mechanical defects, as the failures in January 2026 and January 2024 recorded no specific defects. This suggests the failures may have been related to minor, non-mechanical items such as wiper blades or light bulbs that were rectified immediately prior to retesting. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,484 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 99,284 miles in January 2024 to 115,657 miles in January 2025, and finally reaching 125,809 miles by February 2026. This consistent usage pattern indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally helps prevent seized components and perished rubber seals. While the MOT history is clean of structural or serious mechanical advisories, the high mileage of 125,809 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should focus on the suspension system, specifically checking for perished bushes or leaking dampers, and inspect the brake discs for deep scoring or uneven wear. Given the age and mileage, checking the condition of the timing belt and water pump is also advisable to ensure they have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals.
