MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

Common Problems: VOLVO XC40
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Infotainment Freezing and Software Glitches(Moderate)
Earlier cars with Sensus and 2022+ models with Google-based Android Automotive can suffer from screen freezes, blackouts, or lost GPS/connectivity.
- 12V Battery Drain and Start-Stop Faults(Moderate)
Battery-management and software issues can flatten the auxiliary or main 12V battery, causing stop-start failure and low-voltage warnings.
- XC40 Recharge high-voltage battery fire-risk recalls (2021-22 build, ongoing 2026)(Serious)
DVSA’s recall record for 2021 model-year XC40s documents a high-voltage battery cell manufacturing defect that can let cells overheat at full charge with a fire risk when parked - the defect that sits behind Volvo’s repeated charge-limit instructions. In July 2026 CarTell reported Volvo writing to 333 UK XC40 Recharge PHEV owners with a do-not-charge instruction on the same cell theme. If any cell modules have been replaced the car may be fine; if the notice is open, the car is a liability - and any BEV version built in 2023-24 is caught by the separate brake-module recall.
