VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.0
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLVO V40 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 is a compact five-door estate, combining useful boot space with dimensions that suit everyday UK driving. It occupies a practical, slightly premium niche, for buyers wanting Volvo character and more versatility than a family hatchback, without the bulk of a large estate.
Mycarcheck.com records five look-ups across five VINs, a small sample, so these figures are indicative only. The checks show average mileage of 117,000 miles, annual use of around 5,000 miles and 4.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £400; condition and service history matter greatly on an older car.
The V40 estate suits commuters, couples and families needing space for luggage, shopping or hobbies, and may make a second car. Its 2.0-litre engine and squared-off rear give it a composed feel. Against rivals such as the Ford Focus estate, it stands out for its Volvo character and no-nonsense layout.
