Are you considering purchasing a used medium sized family car? The Volvo S40 is a great pick. AutoUncle present 76 options sourced from numerous dealership websites and online marketplaces.
Currently, the prices for a pre-owned Volvo S40 start at £695 and go up to £4,695.
The used car price for the Swedish car varies according to five primary factors: year, engine size and performance, fuel economy of the car, how far the car has already travelled together with trim level.
For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than an earlier version with less equipment and higher mileage.
Here is an overview of the most popular equipment variants for Volvo S40, sorted by number of cars for sale and their market price:
When assessing the price of a used Volvo S40, it's essential to examine vehicles that have the same engines and features. If you don't, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to buy.
The predominant fuel variant for the Volvo S40 is petrol.
Compare fuel types for Volvo S40:
Before deciding on a fuel type to buy, we highly recommend taking some time to consider your current driving habits. On a regular week, how far do you drive? Do you engage in many brief trips, or are your drives generally longer in distance?
If you mostly drive short trips, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars may be relevant. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Remember that in some places, high-emission diesel engines are not allowed in urban areas.

Characterised by its enclosed passenger area and separate boot, a saloon offers ample interior space, ensuring comfort for both drivers and passengers.
