Volvo EC40 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Volvo EC40s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Volvo EC40 fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Volvo EC40 from 2024, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2024 to 2026), its electric versions have an official range of 299 to 359 miles.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
• A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “EC40, MY26”, “EC40, MY25”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Volvo EC40 safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Volvo EC40 in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Volvo EC40. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
