Volvo WAGON – the V40 estate version in the van register: five-cylinder engines from 66 to 103 kW, unladen weights from 1.3 to 1.6 tonnes, gross weights up to 2.04 tonnes
In the register, Wagon is the estate designation for the Volvo V40, the compact estate introduced in the late 1990s, which Volvo designed and built jointly with Mitsubishi at the NedCar plant in Born, the Netherlands, where both brands produced their own models in parallel on a shared platform; the model names carry Dutch type-approval codes such as VW11, VW16 or VW73 and the suffix 5D for the five-door body. The 2.5D Automatic version denotes the 2.5-litre five-cylinder diesel with automatic transmission.

The register lists here 6 versions with 66 to 103 kW from five-cylinder engines of 1,580 to 2,460 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,325 to 1,628 kg, gross weights from 1,740 to 2,040 kg, lengths from 4,480 to 4,720 mm and widths from 1,720 to 1,760 mm.
The V40 positioned Volvo in the growing compact-class market below the larger V70, with the brand's typical focus on safety equipment and practical load space; as an estate it competed with models such as the Audi A4 Avant and the BMW 3 Series Touring.
When buying used, check corrosion on the rear wheel arches and tailgate, the condition of the timing belt or timing chain depending on engine variant, the function of the electric windows and air conditioning, and on the diesel engines the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger; upholstery and electronics are also worth checking after years of daily use. Spare parts are widely available through the Volvo network.
