Looking for information on a used Volvo S40?

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.

What is the price range for a used Volvo S40?

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.

Does the Volvo S40 offer multiple trim lines?

Here is an overview of the most popular equipment variants for Volvo S40, sorted by number of cars for sale and their market price:

  • Volvo S40 SE Lux: Right now you will find 9 cars for sale at an average price of £4,223
  • Volvo S40 R-Design: Here you will find 6 cars for sale at an average price of £2,713
  • Volvo S40 SE: 6 cars for sale at an average price of £2,710
  • Volvo S40 Standard: 1 car for sale at an average price of £1,395

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?

For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work.
