Data gaps: No independent test of an XC40 itself outside AVILOO; the one measured drive test is of the sister C40.
What to check when buying a used XC40 Recharge
- One owner logged the same car falling from 94.55% to 87.5% between 25,000 and 48,000 km (OrBit app); ask for repeated readings or a full test. (OrBit Forums – forums.spaycetech.com)
- Compare any test result with the ranges above and with the ADAC rule of thumb: at least 92% at 50,000 km, 88% at 100,000 km, 84% at 150,000 km, 80% at 200,000 km. (ADAC)
Battery warranty (UK)
Volvo UK: high-voltage battery 8 years or 100,000 miles from first delivery, whichever comes first; repairs to return capacity to at least 70% if SoH drops below 70% due to a manufacturing or material defect. Source: Volvo Cars UK, checked 2026-10-20. Always confirm the terms for the specific car with the manufacturer.

Model averages can't tell you about the car in front of you. An independent battery test (typically a short OBD plug-in test, some remote) gives an SoH figure and often a certificate you can use when negotiating.
- AVILOO – Independent OBD-based battery test (FLASH / Premium) with certificate; available via partners in the UK and EU.
- Generational – UK OBD plug-in test with certificate (SoH, range, remaining warranty, cell balance); sold through dealers and independent mobile testers.
- Moba – Postal OBD kit: you run the test yourself and post the box back for a digital battery certificate (Europe – check vehicle support and delivery country).
