Volvo XC40 T5 Awd: which year should you buy?
Across the 2019 to 2024 model years, the public record is strongest on the 2021 (87/100). Every year below is scored on its own NHTSA complaint and recall history. Pick the year, not just the nameplate.
Every model year, scored
Same math for every year (how we score). A neutral Unproven or Too New stamp means too few owner reports are on file to affirm the year, not that it’s clean.

The fine print: each year’s verdict is computed from public NHTSA complaint and recall records for the Volvo XC40 T5 Awd as a model, not for any individual car. A well-kept example of a weaker year can outlast a neglected strong one. Informational only, so always get a professional pre-purchase inspection.
