Thinking about buying a used Volvo V40?

Are you considering buying a used medium sized family car? Then the Volvo V40 is a good choice. AutoUncle features 857 avalable cars to choose from, each one gathered from an online marketplace or dealership website.

What is the cost of a pre-owned Volvo V40?

The price of a used Volvo V40 ranges from £2,695 for the cheapest model to £13,995 for the latest and most well-equipped model.

The price for the Swedish car is influenced by five primary factors: the year, engine size and performance, the car's fuel economy, how much the car's odometer reads not to mention the vehicle's equipment variant.

For example, a newer model with low mileage or a premium version equipped with a high-performance engine generally demands a higher price than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

What equipment levels does the Volvo V40 offer?

The most popular equipment variants for the Volvo V40 are:

While evaluating the cost of a pre-owned Volvo V40, it's crucial 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.

What are the available fuel options for the Volvo V40?

Diesel ranks as the top fuel type for the Volvo V40.

Available fuel options:

  • Volvo V40 diesel: 505 cars currently available with an average price of £7,488
  • Volvo V40 petrol: 352 cars currently available with an average price of £9,647

Factor in your driving habits when making a decision about fuel types. Do you usually drive in city traffic or on highways and freeways? How many miles do you cover on a weekly basis?

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. For very long daily driving without charging options, a diesel car can still be relevant. Bear in mind that diesel engines emitting high levels of pollution are not allowed in cities in a number of countries.
