2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Petrol · YY64 VMT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 18 November 2025 at 78,673 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has passed its annual inspections for the last four years. While a failure occurred just four days prior to the most recent test, the issues were limited to consumable items and a minor electrical fault which the owner managed to rectify immediately to secure the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 50,510 miles and November 2025 at 78,673 miles, the car covered roughly 28,000 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress motorway driving, which often preserves the drivetrain and suspension rubber components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyres in person, as the November 2025 failure highlighted edge wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres alongside a deep cut on the nearside tyre. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect inflation pressures that should be verified to prevent premature future wear. The 13-pin trailer socket should also be tested for functionality to ensure the previous repair remains robust and the wiring harness is intact. Given the lack of recorded advisories for corrosion or brake binding issues, the focus should remain on the physical condition of the tyres and the integrity of the rear electrical connections.
