The VOLVO S40 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 2.0T SE REV 00 is a compact four-door saloon, offering a separate boot and a more formal feel than a hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it is a practical alternative to family hatchbacks and larger executive saloons, with Volvo’s safety-minded image setting it apart. Mycarcheck.com has recorded eight checks across six distinct VINs, so the sample is modest. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £300, average recorded mileage of 106,000 miles and annual mileage of 5,000; vehicles had an average of nearly four previous keepers. These are historical averages, not a guide to every car’s condition or current price. The 2.0T turbo engine makes the S40 feel livelier than many saloons, while its cabin suits commuting and family duties. It is best for buyers valuing character, refinement and boot space over modern economy or hatchback versatility; condition and service history matter greatly.
