Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a modern elec
Given the high mileage relative to its age, your first priority should be verifying the battery health and checking for any evidence of high-speed or heavy-load usage. While the MOT passed, the advisory regarding both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit suggests that a set of new front tyres will be a necessary immediate expense.
When negotiating, use the mileage and the tyre wear as leverage. Ask for documentation regarding any recent service intervals, as high-mileage EVs still require checks on suspension components, brake fluids, and cabin filters. Ensure the charging cables and any manufacturer-provided accessories are present.
As a fully electric vehicle, fuel costs will depend heavily on your home charging setup versus public rapid charging networks. Tax bands for EVs are currently subject to UK government policy changes, so check the latest rates for the 2026 period. Insurance groups for premium electric crossovers like the C40 tend to be mid-to-high due to repair costs.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally lower than internal combustion engine equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though tyres can wear faster on heavy EVs. Expect an estimated annual running cost to be influenced primarily by your electricity consumption and insurance premiums.
Focus your physical inspection on the front tyres, as the January 2026 MOT specifically flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This could indicate an alignment issue that should be checked.
Additionally, because this vehicle has covered over 60,000 miles in a short period, inspect the suspension bushings and steering components for signs of premature wear. Check the condition of the charging port for any debris or damage and ensure the software is up to date.
Registered in February 2023, this Black Volvo C40 Core Recharge EV has covered 61,008 miles in approximately three and a half years. This is considerably higher than the model average of 8,282 miles per year, suggesting it has been used frequently, likely for long-distance commuting. The single recorded MOT in January 2026 passed, though it highlighted wear on both front tyres.
Aggregate data from 1,800 analysed vehicles shows a high MOT pass rate of 90.5%, with tyre wear being a common reason for issues across this model range.
