The VOLVO S40 (2007-10) 4DR SALOON 2.0D 136 SE LUX PWRSHIFT AUTO6 is a compact four-door saloon, offering a more refined alternative to mainstream family hatchbacks. Volvo’s understated styling and SE Lux trim give it a quietly upmarket feel, while the automatic gearbox makes everyday driving straightforward. In the UK used market, it sits between ordinary small family cars and larger executive saloons. mycarcheck.com has recorded 114 checks across 45 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this particular version. Its checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,200 and average recorded mileage of 213,000 miles; average annual mileage is 6,000. The typical history shows just under four previous keepers. These figures describe vehicles checked, not every S40, so condition and service history remain important. Suited to commuters and small families, it offers relaxed travel, diesel economy and automatic ease, with a more understated, value-focused character than a BMW 3 Series.
