Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 XS REV 00 is a compact five-door estate, offering more useful load space than a conventional hatchback without the size of a large family wagon. In the UK used-car market, it sits as an older, practical family car, with Volvo’s safety-minded reputation adding appeal.
Mycarcheck.com has recorded 45 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, so these figures offer a small snapshot rather than a full market survey. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, recorded mileage of 102,000 and annual use of 6,000 miles; cars averaged around three to four previous keepers.
This V40 suits commuters, families and anyone needing an affordable runabout that can carry shopping, luggage or hobby gear. Its estate shape is a useful alternative to period hatchbacks such as the Ford Focus, while its comfortable, solid feel is a Volvo strength. At this age, condition and service history matter.
