VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 1.8 SE LPG
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 1.8 SE LPG is a compact, five-door family estate: more load-friendly than a conventional hatchback, but easier to park and live with than a larger Volvo wagon. It sits in the practical mainstream used-car market, competing with estate versions of the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf.
Its upright shape and useful boot make it suited to small families, dog owners and commuters needing extra carrying space, while the SE trim gives it a more comfortable, well-equipped feel. The 1.8-litre petrol engine paired with LPG is a distinctive alternative to ordinary petrol running; LPG availability and economy depend on the individual car’s system and condition, so check its paperwork and operation.
mycarcheck.com has only two look-ups covering one VIN, so its figures are a small snapshot: £900 average private-sale value, 104,000 miles and two previous keepers. A sensible, characterful older estate, condition matters most.
