The VOLVO S40 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 1.9D 95 XS is a compact four-door saloon, offering a traditional boot and a more understated alternative to family hatchbacks. In the UK used-car market, it sits among older, affordable small family cars, with Volvo’s safety-minded reputation and tidy, grown-up styling helping it stand apart. Its 1.9-litre diesel and saloon layout suit commuting, longer journeys and small families wanting passenger space without a large-car feel. The S40 suits buyers seeking a practical older car rather than modern equipment; against popular hatchback rivals, it offers a separate boot and a more discreet character for everyday use. mycarcheck.com has one lookup for this exact VOLVO S40, covering one VIN, so its figures are a snapshot, not a reliable market average. That record shows a private-sale valuation of £200, 140,000 miles and two previous keepers; the recorded annual mileage is zero. Check condition and history carefully before buying.
