Description
Over the past seven years, the car has accumulated the majority of its total mileage — just over 62,000 km.
The current owner has used the car very sparingly over six years, yet still added a little over 10,000 kilometers and kept up with regular servicing, including a timing belt replacement in 2021 at 51,960 km.
The most recent approved inspection was carried out on October 28, 2024.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Engine, transmission, brakes, and chassis all perform as they should — with no strange noises or complaints. The engine is a four-cylinder version from the same family as Volvo’s beloved and now legendary five-cylinder powerplant.
-
Interior condition
Well-kept and fresh overall, especially considering the mileage. No noticeable wear — seats, steering wheel, controls, carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in good, clean condition.
-
Exterior condition
Largely original paint, with the front fenders having been repainted due to parking damage. A few small blemishes are present. The plastic engine undertray is missing, but the owner is currently searching for a replacement and hopes to include it with the car after the auction.
Older Michelin tires with good tread on original alloy wheels. -
General condition
A future enthusiast’s classic — representing the brand’s last Dutch-built model, offered here with low mileage, well-preserved condition, and solid documentation.

Facts about the model
The wagon version was marketed as the Volvo V40. This was the first model to introduce the new S/V naming convention, where “V” stood for versatility.
Originally, the car was to be named S4, but the name was shelved after Audi objected due to its similarity to their Audi S4.
The engines offered belonged to the same engine family as Volvo’s five-cylinder engine from the 850, but in this application were four-cylinder versions. The turbocharged models used gearboxes borrowed from the 850, which meant they had a different gear pattern (reverse down to the right) compared to the standard models (reverse up to the left).
A 1.8-liter engine from Mitsubishi was also available — the same one used in the Carisma, which shared both the platform and the production line.
