2019 Volvo V40 D3 R-Design Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve got this 2019 Volvo V40 D3 R-Design hatchback — it’s not flashy, but it’s solid. I bought it a few years ago and have kept it well looked after, so it’s still running strong and ready to go.

It’s a diesel, 2.0L, 150ps — not the most aggressive engine, but it’s smooth, efficient, and gets you where you need to go without fuss. The R-Design bits — the front grille, twin exhausts, alloy wheels — give it a sharp, sporty look without being too loud. I’ve got 18-inch Ixion IV diamond-cut matt black wheels, which are a bit of a standout when you park in the village or on the island.

Inside, it’s all leather, which feels great — especially on chilly days. The heated front seats are a real plus, and the panoramic sunroof lets in loads of light, making the cabin feel open and airy. I’ve got the sat-nav and Sensus Connect with good sound, so I don’t have to worry about getting lost or missing a playlist.

Safety’s been a top priority — front and rear park assist, rear camera, ABS with EBA, stability control, and all the airbags you’d expect. I’ve had it serviced in our workshop, and it’s been fully checked by a qualified mechanic. The car’s also got a full 12-month MOT, with a printout of the history included.

I’ve had it valeted before photos, so it’s clean and presentable. There’s a 1/4 tank of fuel ready to go, and I’ve got a 12V socket in the boot — handy if you’re doing a road trip or just need to charge a phone.

I’m based in North Hayling, on Hayling Island — not too far from the coast, just a bit of a drive from the main roads. I’ve been in the car trade since 1920, so I know what to look for — and I’ve got a good team of mechanics who do the full checks and keep everything running right.

I’ve had it through a full HPI check, and it’s all clear — no liens, no history of being written off or stolen. I’ve also got a 6-month RAC warranty, plus 12 months of breakdown cover with roadside help, recovery, and even at-home support.

It’s not the cheapest car around, but it’s reliable, safe, and comfortable — and it’s been driven and maintained properly. If you’re looking for something that just works, without all the hype — this one’s been there for me, and I’m happy to let it go.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to show it around — just give me a ring on 01279654408. I’ll do a quick test drive and answer any questions. No pressure, just a real car, in a real place.

And yeah, I’ve had it polished up, dents fixed where needed, and everything cleaned — so it’s ready to go when you’re ready to take it out.

P.S. I’m not selling it for a lot — it’s just something I’ve kept for years, and now I’m downsizing. If you’ve got a use for it, I’d be happy to talk.
