Things to look for when buying a used Volvo XC40

Infotainment software and connectivity: The Sensus touchscreen system can develop glitches, such as freezing or slow response times. Test all functions including navigation, Bluetooth, and smartphone integration for any issues.

Electrical faults: Some XC40s have suffered from random warning lights and malfunctions, especially affecting parking sensors or cameras. Check all electronics, including windows, lighting, and safety features.

Automatic transmission performance: On some petrol automatic models, there have been reports of hesitation or jerky shifting. Take the car for a test drive and ensure gear changes are smooth and responsive.

Seatbelt assembly recalls: Certain early models were recalled for seatbelt tensioner faults. Verify with the seller that recall work has been completed and that all seatbelts function as they should.

Hybrid battery condition (Recharge models): If buying a Recharge plug-in hybrid, ask for a recent battery health report and make sure the charging cable is included and undamaged. Poor battery health can lead to reduced range and costly repairs.
