I'm considering buying a used V40 with between 150000km and 200000km... would you suggest it with such mileage (like, do they start giving lots of problems or not)? I've been told today by a Volvo reseller that Volvos go well up to even 600000km!

Got a V40 D3 bought new in 2013. The car is fantastic and I am looking forward to driving it until it falls apart. Here are the issues I've had so far: rear locks got replaced on warranty three years in, paint was flaking off from the plastic exterior trim parts, got fixed on warranty, one of the catches on the bonnet did not release about 4 years in, got fixed on warranty. Lambda sensor went defective about five years in, I had to pay for that fix. I also had to replace the bonnet lock about 6 years in as the sensor would not record it being closed which would trigger the alarm on occasion. Despite these issues, which were mostly minor and did not affect daily mobility, I would thoroughly recommend the car. Last bit not least, the D3 5 cyl engine is both potent and economical, consuming about 5 l/100 km at 120 kmh. And after 120000 km I am still on the factory brake discs and pads which is fantastic durability.
Would you recommend buying it as "used" with 224000 km on it (2013 D3 Automatic gear). Am looking up to get me one of such. It had been well maintained and only minor faults like yours had occured as far as i can see on the papers from the dealership. 2013 D3 Automatic gear

@@entertainment221 Yes. I have now owned the car for close to 4 years and the counter is on around 200.000 kilometer.

Bought a two year old Volvo V40 T2 from available car in Cannock. Almost immediately it developed a problem but it took 4 months for them and Volvo to discover that master cylinder and slave cylinder were faulty and needed replacing. In that time I was left making several return visits to dealer feeling like I was making the whole thing up. Eventually all sorted but was left very unimpressed by available car ( warning stay away from them) and less than impressed that Volvo took for ever to find the fault. Love my car now but will go back to Audi next time.
Currently driving one of these whilst my Audi A4 Avant is being fixed (long story short DO NOT USE CLICKMECHANIC IF IN THE UK) but driving the Volvo V40 D4 and its nippy! Boot is big enough for my one year olds pram and just enough space in the rear seats for his 360 car seat. But it is a bit dark and low roof line. Comfortable enough. The only real negative I’ve found with it is the turning circle on full lock. I’ve seen cruise ships turn on a tighter circle but its not going to be a deal breaker for most. In summary, its nippy, comfortable, enough tech to not feel outdated and a decent car for most!
Got my V40 D2 R Design 8 months ago. Check the clutch before buying one as the slave cylinder is a common fault in these cars. Got mine replaced as well as the full clutch under warranty luckily and I do love the car. Drives extremely well and the seats are so comfortable
Just got my 64 plate D2 just before Christmas..traded in a polo 1.4 basic model..yes the insurance is a bit more..but, boy! Am I spoiled in this car! Heated seats etc etc are a joy for my back..happy days!

Managed to get my hands on a 2016 V40 T5 2.0 petrol with 245bhp, stuck a chip on it so now produces 308bhp. Being able to keep up with Golf R’s and S3’s in my Volvo sure gets heads turning. Only con is mpg returning 26 but what do you expect with its power.
Got a 2015 D3. Great city car, but the ride over bumps and speedbumps is pretty bad compared to a BMW 1er with M sport suspension, so keep that in mind.
I have a V40 T4 since July and I have never had a problem since then. It is not very sporty to drive but it can go when you step on the gas. It also gets decent economy considering I get 7l/100 km average on a crowded city. I heard BMW 118i gets around 10l/100km even if you are careful with your right pedal. Build quality is great, safety is among the best in class, what more do you want from a car?
wanted a change from our tiguan 60000 miles . seen a volvo v40 2013 d3 for sale the main reason we bought it was very low milage 19000 so it should last us a good few years . the main bennifits are nicer to drive / cheaper road tax / more miles to litre / cheaper to insure / safer car to drive / some downsides . smaller boot / smaller passenger area / some limited vision / although it suits our lifestyle just the 2 of us . wife thinks its better to park ? dont think its an ideal car for familys , although its ok with small kids . but we are very pleased we made the switch
beautiful car but the only thing putting me off from getting it is the poor basic look of the dashboard compared to the golf or ford focus for example, the volvos dashboard looks a bit boring :/
Got a MY14 D2 and the cylinder headgasket blew 70.000km in. Suspension needed a complete replacement on the front axle at 90.000km. Oh and at 40.000 my rear window busted without reason while driving. So far I've spent 5000€ on this. Never Volvo again!
I have a Ford focus and the ride is very hard (titanium x) so a bit worried about the v40 apparently not being a patch on a focus? I actually drove a 2019 rdesign v40 as a hire car and it felt great, was the suspension/ride setup changed after the 2016 face-lift?
You shouldn’t buy the d2 I had many problems with the 1.6 engine. The 2.0 is perfectly fine but keep your hands away from the 1.6 Diesel Engine. If you look up problems with the 1.6 u will find plenty of replaced engines just like mine :)

No mention of the Ecoboost versions being equipped with the awful and garbage Powershift DSG which has several massive lawsuits in the USA? That alone makes any 1.6L V40 prior to 2016 a no buy. Stay away from those. Find a manual or a 2016+ with a torque converter auto.

I love how surface level this video is. These Volvos literally can catch fire. Their engines fail catastrophically. Yet, none of this is mentioned in the video. At this point, why even watch such a review? You are only deluding yourself.
No, Volvo is useless, cost me £3,000 to fix my 14 plate CC, flywheel at 50,000 miles and electronics, both not down to wear and tear, yet I had to foot the bill. Volvo UK did nothing to help only stated they don't comment on their chosen dealers choices, an absolute joke of a brand and if you've more than 2 brain cells, you'll steer clear of this brand. The best thing you'll do with a Volvo is sell it
Love my Volvo but had a similar experience. Common fault on these cars are door lock failures. After alot of calls and discussions it was repaired. Unfortunately I will not be buying a Volvo ever again.
Having a similar issue at the moment. My clutch is doing wierd stuff, like not going into any gear when I put it in reverse. Plus the door handles were all somehow faulty. 65 000kms Spoke to volvo and they simply told me they don't get involved between me and the dealer so they won't help me do a full diagnostic. I am starting to regret this car. I really love it, and I want to make it work. But as time drags on, it's just getting worse and worse
@Ross BourneFunny that 2 people are agreeing with me. If you actually read my comment it was more than one issue. A 62% reliability rating on warrantywise with an average repaid cost of £790. But you're right - you claiming your dad never having any issues across multiple Volvos clearly means more than 3 people agreeing, any number of issues in the forums or even it's reliability score on a trusted website.

@@semihskc You have the child lock enabled, pull the key from the key hob and with door open u have a switch ( a small hole ) under the door's lock, fit the key there and turn. The problem i was talking about is when the locks spot working at all!
@@sepheul well that worked, thanks. It has a hole there but it doesn't turn. I just put the key in the hole and it fixed the problem
No mention of the Ecoboost versions being equipped with the awful and garbage Powershift DSG which has several massive lawsuits in the USA? That alone makes any 1.6L V40 prior to 2016 a no buy. Stay away from those. Find a manual or a 2016+ with a torque converter auto.
Are 2015/ 2016 2.0 diesel engines ok?
@@somethingsomewhere7394 Unsure. Probably fine except for the D2 which appears to have had Ford involved. The rest of the diesels seem to have a regular torque converter = good news.
This car has a Ford engine?
From 2014 they’re drive-e Volvo engine architecture.
Remove gearlever
65 mpg from the D2! Not a chance. Do you guys even drive the cars you make reviews of or do you just quote from the brochures lol
My D2 auto gets 37mpg. Maybe that's down to my foot 😂😂
Maybe an issue...i am getting 4.8l (59mpg) from my D2 2013. But you must predict and play with a gass pedal. :D
I had a V40 D2 and would regularly get 70+ on my 30 mile journey to work. My all time record was 90!
@@dts7824 please create a video of that because I know a thing or two about economical driving and unless you are only driving motorway and at a speed less than 60 mph I see no way of achieving those mpg ratings
@@dts7824 still no video so I call BS
My ideal motor! Shame they don't sell this outside of 🇪🇺! #PraiseVolvo! #ScrewBMW!
It was sold outside of EU. A lot of Asia got the V40 too
I hawe v40 d4 accelerator ;)))))
No you should not
Thatchermcreasearch that sounds like a name you just made up 🤣🤣
S60 d2 is roomier, better drive and more classy.
Price is double the V40.
@@nmfl100 WHAT? Hahahaahahahaha 🤣
@@SLR-722 a volvo s60 with 1 or 2 years is about double the price of a v40 from the same year.

What 3 rear seats?😂🤣
The audio is appalling !!
My one is banging man
No.
Yes.
Yes...👌
No, stay away from it.
couldn't be more thorough
I love how surface level this video is. These Volvos literally can catch fire. Their engines fail catastrophically. Yet, none of this is mentioned in the video. At this point, why even watch such a review? You are only deluding yourself.
No, Volvo is useless, cost me £3,000 to fix my 14 plate CC, flywheel at 50,000 miles and electronics, both not down to wear and tear, yet I had to foot the bill.
Volvo UK did nothing to help only stated they don't comment on their chosen dealers choices, an absolute joke of a brand and if you've more than 2 brain cells, you'll steer clear of this brand.
The best thing you'll do with a Volvo is sell it
Love my Volvo but had a similar experience. Common fault on these cars are door lock failures. After alot of calls and discussions it was repaired. Unfortunately I will not be buying a Volvo ever again.
Having a similar issue at the moment. My clutch is doing wierd stuff, like not going into any gear when I put it in reverse. Plus the door handles were all somehow faulty.
65 000kms
Spoke to volvo and they simply told me they don't get involved between me and the dealer so they won't help me do a full diagnostic.
I am starting to regret this car. I really love it, and I want to make it work. But as time drags on, it's just getting worse and worse
@Ross BourneFunny that 2 people are agreeing with me. If you actually read my comment it was more than one issue. A 62% reliability rating on warrantywise with an average repaid cost of £790. But you're right - you claiming your dad never having any issues across multiple Volvos clearly means more than 3 people agreeing, any number of issues in the forums or even it's reliability score on a trusted website.
Volvo Crap
