Our Verdict
A highly attractive early example of the Volvo XC40 with exceptionally low mileage and a clean MOT record. It is a safe bet for those seeking a modern premium SUV with minimal recorded wear.
Since this vehicle is relatively new, your primary focus should be verifying the full service history to ensure all annual inspections have been carried out to Volvo's schedule to maintain the warranty. Given the low mileage, check that the tyres are the original equipment or have significant tread left, and look for any thin paint or mismatched panels that might indicate repairs not captured in the MOT history.
Ensure the infotainment system and safety features are functioning correctly, as these are complex components of this model. Because it is a 22-plate, it may still be covered by manufacturer warranty, so request the documentation to confirm the remaining coverage before finalizing the purchase.
The 1477cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely offering competitive fuel economy compared to larger turbocharged SUVs. You should expect moderate tax bands typical for a premium compact crossover, though insurance groups vary significantly based on your personal profile and the specific trim trim status.
Maintenance costs should be low in the short term due to the low mileage, but Volvo parts and labour are generally more expensive than mass-market alternatives. Annual costs, including fuel, insurance, and servicing, will depend heavily on your annual mileage habits.
The 2025 MOT record shows no defects, which is a positive indicator of the vehicle's mechanical state at that time. However, you should still inspect the brakes for signs of uneven wear, which can sometimes occur on low-mileage cars used for short trips.
Pay close attention to the undercarriage for any signs of corrosion, though unlikely given the vehicle's age. Check the interior for any signs of heavy use that might contradict the 15,059-miles recorded on the odometer.
This 2022 Volvo XC40 features a 1.5L petrol engine and has covered only 15,059 miles since its first registration in May. Its first MOT in May 2025 passed with no defects or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been used sparingly and maintained to. The grey paintwork and low mileage make it a strong value proposition in the used SUV market.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model year.
