Reliability of the Volvo XC40

Last update 16. 02. 2024

The ADAC breakdown statistics determine which Volvo models are the most reliable and which have broken down most – a good help when buying a used Volvo XC40.

In the statistics for 2023, all the breakdowns for which the German Yellow Angels had to move out in 2022 were recorded and evaluated. There is enough data available that gives an objective picture of the reliability of the Volvo XC40.
