2022 Volvo C40 Core Recharge EV Electric · YY72 AVZ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 19 September 2025. At 51,871 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety requirements. The absence of recorded failures suggests the mechanical components remained within operational parameters. The recorded mileage of 51,871 miles over a four-year period reflects an average usage of approximately 13,000 miles per year. This is slightly above the national average for modern electric vehicles, suggesting consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity which can lead to component degradation. While the data from the 2025 test is positive, the mileage indicates that the vehicle has seen significant road exposure, which typically accelerates service intervals compared to lower-mileage counterparts. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the mileage, a close check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of premature wear or tearing is essential. Because electric vehicles utilize regenerative braking, the mechanical discs and pads should be inspected for corrosion if the car was used infrequently, or uneven wear if it has been driven heavily. Verifying the tyre tread depth and uneven wear will also confirm if the alignment remains true despite the higher mileage accumulation.
