The VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.0T AUTO5 REV 00 is a compact five-door estate from Volvo’s late-1990s range, offering more carrying space than a small hatchback without the bulk of a large family wagon. In the UK used-car market, it is an older, practical alternative to compact estates such as the Ford Focus Estate and Volkswagen Golf Estate. mycarcheck.com data shows just three look-ups, covering one distinct VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable market-wide guide. The recorded average private-sale valuation is £200, with average mileage of 154,000 and annual mileage of 17,000. No previous keepers were recorded on average, an unusual result that should be treated cautiously, not as a guarantee of ownership history. Turbo petrol power and an automatic gearbox suit relaxed commuting, while the boot helps with family trips. Its Volvo character sets it apart, but check condition and running costs.
