The VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.0T SE REV 00 is a compact, five-door estate from Volvo’s first-generation V40 range, offering a useful alternative to a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used-car market it sits as a small, practical estate with a more upmarket, safety-minded image than many mainstream rivals. mycarcheck.com has recorded four checks, covering four different VINs, so this is a small sample rather than a broad market picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £900, average recorded mileage of 122,000 and typical annual mileage of 7,000. The cars averaged three to four previous keepers (3.5), useful context when assessing an individual example; condition and service history matter greatly at this age. Turbocharged performance gives the V40 SE a lively feel compared with small estates, while its practical boot suits everyday errands, hobbies and family trips. It best serves buyers seeking space, comfort and Volvo character.
