Begin with the registration and mileage. There is no obligation.

Thank you. Now a little more about the car, and how we can reach you.

Or call us free on 0800 316 3033, or send a WhatsApp message.

Engine

Engine and emissions

Tell us which engine your Volvo has and how it runs. On diesels, mention any DPF or AdBlue messages. Recent cambelt or other big jobs are worth telling us about.

Gearbox

Gearbox and drive

Let us know if the automatic changes smoothly, about any warning lights, and whether your Volvo is front-wheel drive or AWD.

Hybrid

Battery and charging

For a plug-in hybrid or electric Volvo, tell us the range on a full charge, whether you have the charging cables and about any battery or charging messages.

Body

Bodywork and wheels

Clear photos of each side and the wheels help us get your offer right first time. Let us know about any previous repairs.

Spec

Trim, seats and options

Trim and options matter: tell us about seven seats, the panoramic roof, Bowers and Wilkins sound, Pilot Assist or a tow bar.

History

Service history and keys

A service record, MOT history and every key make valuing easier. Mention any big jobs that have been done.

Your checklist

  • The V5C registration document in your name
  • Photo ID: passport or driving licence
  • Every key, including the spare
  • Service history and invoices
  • Charging cables, if your Volvo is a plug-in hybrid or electric
  • If there is finance on it, the settlement figure from your lender

This page explains what we look at when we value a Volvo. It is not a price guide: every car is valued individually, free and without obligation.

It helps but is not essential.

Can you collect a Volvo that will not start?

Yes, free, anywhere in the UK.

Will you give me a price over the phone?
