Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 245,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2016 V40 diesel lineup commonly uses small 1.6–2.0 turbo diesels with a manual gearbox; they’re efficient on long runs but fitted with a DPF and EGR which can cause issues if the car has mainly done short urban trips. Expect a comfortable, well-equipped interior and strong safety kit, but watch clutch and turbo wear on higher-mileage examples.
- DPF condition and regeneration history — look for DPF warning lights, excessive soot/black smoke and ask whether the car has had regular long motorway runs.
- EGR valve and turbo condition — test for turbo lag, rattles or smoke under load which indicate carbon or turbo wear.
- Clutch engagement and gear selection — test for slipping, a high bite point or noisy dual-mass flywheel characteristics on take-off.
- Timing belt/cambelt replacement history — confirm the belt was changed to the manufacturer interval (age/mileage dependent) with paperwork or invoices.
- Underbody and rear subframe/boot-floor corrosion — check for salt-related rust around rear suspension mounts, wheelarches and tailgate hinges.
