Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a relat
When inspecting this specific C40, focus on the electrical systems and the software interface, as these are central to the driving experience of a Recharge EV. While the MOT history is clean, you should request documentation regarding any manufacturer software updates or battery health checks that may have been performed during its time under warranty.
Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads; although electric vehicles use regenerative braking which can extend pad life, the weight of the vehicle can still lead to uneven wear. Ensure there is no evidence of cosmetic damage to the black paintwork, which can sometimes show swirl marks more easily than lighter colours.
As a fully electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by your electricity tariff and charging habits. Compared to internal combustion engine counterparts, fuel costs are typically lower, especially if charging at home during off-peak hours. The C40 falls into a specific tax bracket for EVs, though be aware of any changes to the UK's EV tax incentives.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally lower than petrol or diesel cars due to fewer moving parts, but you should budget for periodic checks of the cooling system and cabin filters. Estimated annual running costs for a driver covering typical UK distances are provided below.
Since the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, there are no specific mechanical failure patterns from this vehicle's history to highlight. However, for this model, you should inspect the charging port for any signs of debris or damage and ensure the charging cable is present and undamaged.
Pay close attention to the suspension components and any potential rattles in the interior, which can occur on heavier EVs. Given the vehicle's relatively low mileage of 18,292, look for any signs of premature wear on the suspension bushings or steering components that might indicate uneven road use.
This 2022 Volvo C40 + Recharge EV, finished in black, presents with 18,292 miles on the clock as of its last recorded inspection. It has a single MOT entry from October 2025 which showed no defects, suggesting the vehicle has met the minimum safety standards at its first major milestone. Given its age and mileage, it represents a modern electric crossover that has seen moderate usage since its registration in November 2022.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to establish a long-term reliability trend for the Volvo C40 + Recharge EV.
