Our Verdict
This 2022 Volvo XC40 represents a strong prospect given its relatively low mileage and clean recent MOT record. It is a sensible choice for those seeking a modern SUV with contemporary features.
Since this vehicle is relatively new, your primary focus should be verifying the full service history. Ensure that all annual inspections and services have been performed according to Volvo's schedule to maintain the manufacturer's warranty, if still applicable. Check for any body damage to the red paint, as these can be expensive to colour-match.
Given the low mileage, the tyres and brakes should still have significant life, but always inspect for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues. Ask the owner if any software updates have been performed by the retailer, as these are common for modern electronic-heavy SUVs like this.
The 1477cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and performance, likely falling into a mid-range insurance group. Owners can expect moderate fuel economy typical of an SUV, with tax costs depending on the specific trim level and emissions.
Maintenance costs for Volvos can be higher than for economy brands, but with such low mileage, the frequency of major mechanical repairs should be low in the short term. Estimate an annual budget that accounts for fuel, standard insurance premiums, and annual servicing.
The April 2025 MOT record shows no defects, which is a positive indicator of the mechanical state at that time. However, you should still inspect the underbody for any signs of leaks or corrosion, especially if the car has been used in coastal areas.
Pay close attention to the infotainment system and electronic features, as these are complex components in the XC40. Check the tyres for any signs of sidewall damage and ensure the 28,295-mile reading is consistent with the service history records provided.
Registered in April 2022, this 1.5L petrol XC40 has covered approximately 28,295 miles over its four-year life. The most recent MOT in April 2025 passed with no defects or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has met basic safety standards to date. The red paint finish and modern engine variant make it a competitive-looking option in the used market.
No aggregate MOT data is available for this specific model, though the XC40 is generally regarded as having solid build quality.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
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.
- Powered Tailgate Strut and Rear-End Hardware Issues(Moderate)
The power tailgate on earlier XC40s can corrode, strain or stop closing properly, especially on cars living outdoors through salted winters.
- 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.
