Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this C40, prioritise reviewing the battery health report and ensuring all original charging cables are present. Check the service records specifically for any software updates performed by Volvo, as these are essential for the performance and efficiency of the Recharge powertrain.
Given the black exterior, inspect the paintwork closely under bright light for stone chips on the bonnet and swirl marks, which are more prominent on darker colours. Negotiate based on the remaining manufacturer warranty and the current state of the tyres, as the weight of EVs can lead to faster tread wear.
Running costs are significantly lower than internal combustion alternatives due to the electric drivetrain. Fuel costs will depend on whether the owner has access to cheap home charging or relies on public rapid chargers.
Road tax is currently zero for electric vehicles, though buyers should stay aware of upcoming UK VED changes. Insurance groups for the C40 are generally mid-to-high, reflecting its performance specifications and vehicle value. Maintenance is typically lower than petrol or diesel cars due to fewer moving parts.
Although the October 2025 MOT was passed without any defects, it is advisable to check the tyres for uneven wear, a common trait in heavy electric vehicles. Inspect the charging port for any signs of physical damage or debris that could hinder connection.
Examine the interior upholstery and steering wheel for wear consistent with 21,389 miles. Ensure all infotainment features and the digital instrument cluster are functioning correctly, as these are central to the vehicle's operation.
This 2022 black Volvo C40 Recharge EV has a recorded MOT history consisting of one test in October 2025, which it passed with no defects. With 21,389 miles recorded at its last test, the vehicle has been used moderately since its first registration in October 2022. It presents as a contemporary EV with no recorded historical failures.
Aggregate MOT data is not currently available for the Volvo C40 Recharge EV, meaning buyers must rely on the specific history of the individual vehicle.
