Explore quality used Volvo cars for sale at Vertu, from the compact XC40 and best-selling XC60 SUVs to the seven-seat XC90, the elegant V60 and V90 estates, and fully electric models like the EX30 and EX40. With petrol, mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric options across the range, plus the safety and Scandinavian design Volvo is known for, there's a used Volvo to suit every budget and every kind of driver. Every one is prepared and checked by our colleagues and backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee, with flexible finance and free home delivery available.
Volvo pairs minimalist Scandinavian design with a reputation for safety and long-term reliability, and the used market is where that premium quality becomes real value. Earlier registrations put a well-built, well-equipped Volvo within reach of budgets the new price would rule out, across saloons, estates, SUVs and the brand's growing range of fully electric models.
The used Volvo line-up at Vertu takes in the S60 and S90 saloons, the V60 and V90 estates, a full run of SUVs from the compact XC40 to the seven-seat XC90, and fully electric models led by the EX30, EX40 and EX90. Whichever body style and powertrain suits you, there's likely a used Volvo built around it.
Every used Volvo at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car isn't right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.
Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, runs across the used Volvo range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards the one you're moving to. Wherever you are, a Vertu Volvo dealership can help you find it.
Buying used also widens what your budget reaches. The money that buys an entry engine when new can move you up a trim, a powertrain or a whole model class second-hand, with the car already through the steepest part of its depreciation.
Safety is where Volvo made its name, and it is the strongest reason to buy one used. The City Safety automatic braking, the protective cabin structure and the suite of driver aids were all designed in from the start, so an earlier car protects you and your passengers to the same standard as a new one.
Comfort is the other half of the appeal. Volvo cabins are quiet, uncluttered and finished in quality materials, with seats developed with orthopaedic input that stay supportive over long distances, which is why these cars suit high-mileage drivers and families alike.
Then there is the value itself. Volvo engines are known to cover well past 200,000 miles when looked after, so a car that has already taken the steepest depreciation hit still has a long life ahead. That saving can move you up to a higher trim, a plug-in hybrid, or a larger model for the same outlay, across a used range that spans saloons, estates, SUVs and fully electric cars.
The table below groups the Volvo range by body type, with a note on why each one makes sense used and the fuel types you'll find. Select a model to view stock.

*The highlights shown describe the models in general terms. Used examples at Vertu span several model years, so specification, powertrains and features vary by age and trim, and not every fuel type listed was offered in every year. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.
WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a helpful guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range and efficiency will vary with weather, driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load.
Volvo's naming makes its powertrains easier to read once you know the pattern. The letter tells you the body style: S for saloon, V for estate and XC for SUV. The fully electric models carry their own prefixes, with EX for electric SUVs (the EX30, EX40 and flagship EX90), EC for the electric coupe-styled SUV (the EC40, previously called the C40), and ES for the electric saloon (the ES90).
All of these electric models are powered solely by a battery and electric motor with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, and plug in to charge at home or at public chargers. For drivers not ready to go fully electric, many of the petrol S, V and XC models are offered as plug-in hybrids, badged Recharge, which pair a petrol engine with a battery you charge from the mains for a useful electric-only range. Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model and age, so a colleague can confirm the details of any specific car.
Safety has defined Volvo for decades, from inventing the three-point seatbelt to fitting City Safety automatic emergency braking as standard across the range. Used Volvos come well equipped with driver-assistance and protective technology, even in the older models.
Pilot Assist is Volvo's semi-autonomous driving aid, going beyond standard adaptive cruise control by using gentle steering inputs to help keep the car centred in its lane on the motorway, which reduces strain on long journeys. Inside, Volvo's infotainment runs either the portrait-style Sensus system on models from around 2015, or the newer Google built-in system on the latest used cars, which brings Google Maps and voice control directly into the dashboard. Exactly which features a specific used Volvo has depends on its model, age and trim, so a colleague can confirm.
Buying a used Volvo from Vertu means the same checked, prepared car and the same guarantees, whichever dealership you use. Here's what that looks like.
| What We Offer | What It Means for You |

| Comprehensive multi-point checks | Every used car prepared to the highest standards by our technicians before it reaches the forecourt. |
| 14-day money-back guarantee | A fortnight to change your mind, with an exchange or a refund. |
| Part-exchange accepted | We value your current car and put it towards your used Volvo. |
| Tailored finance packages | PCP and HP payment plans arranged around your budget, not a fixed template. |

Spreading the cost of a used Volvo is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.
Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.
A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. For Volvo finance figures tailored to you, our finance explained guide sets out the options, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.

Vertu stocks a broad range of used Volvo cars, from the S60 and S90 saloons, through the V60 and V90 estates, to a full run of SUVs from the compact XC40 to the seven-seat XC90, and fully electric models including the EX30, EX40 and EX90. Availability changes daily as cars arrive and sell, so the live listings show what's in stock now.
Between the saloons, estates, SUVs and electric models, the used Volvo line-up covers most premium needs and a full range of powertrains, from petrol and diesel to mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric. A colleague can help you narrow it down by budget, body style or fuel type.
Yes. Volvo has a formidable reputation for reliability, built on decades of quality engineering, and its robust engines are known to cover well over 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. A second hand Volvo with a full service history is one of the most dependable premium cars you can buy.
As with any used car, condition comes down to how it's been looked after. Every used Volvo at Vertu is inspected and prepared before sale, and a colleague can talk you through a car's history and service record.
It depends on what you need. The XC60 is the natural all-rounder, a mid-size SUV with space, comfort and class-leading safety. For families the compact XC40 or seven-seat XC90 are strong choices, while the V60 and V90 estates suit those who want load space with a lower, sleeker car.
For the lowest running costs, the plug-in hybrid Recharge models and the fully electric EX30, EX40 and EX90 are worth a look. A colleague can match the right model to your budget and driving.
Volvo's naming follows a simple pattern. The letter shows the body style: S for saloon, V for estate and XC for SUV, with the number indicating size, so an XC90 is larger than an XC40. The fully electric models use their own prefixes, EX for electric SUVs, EC for the electric coupe-SUV and ES for the electric saloon.
The 'Recharge' badge on petrol models indicates a plug-in hybrid. A colleague can explain exactly what any specific used Volvo is and which powertrain it has.
Yes. Vertu stocks used Volvo electric cars including the compact EX30, the EX40 and coupe-styled EC40, the flagship seven-seat EX90 and the ES90 saloon, all fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Stock depends on what has come through as used, so the live listings show current availability.
Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model, battery and trim, so confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague. Plug-in hybrid Recharge versions of several models are also available for drivers who want electric running with a petrol backup.
Both are stylish, practical estates that suit different needs. The used V60 is a sporty, elegant mid-size estate with a dynamic drive and versatile load space, ideal for most families. The used V90 is larger and more luxurious, with significantly more rear legroom and a longer boot, prioritising comfort and load-carrying for long-distance travel.
Pilot Assist is Volvo's advanced driver-assistance system. It goes beyond standard adaptive cruise control by using gentle steering inputs to help keep the car centred in its lane on the motorway, which reduces driver strain and makes long journeys more relaxing.
It's a driver aid rather than a self-driving system, so you stay in control at all times. Whether a specific used Volvo has it depends on its model, age and trim, so a colleague can confirm.
Volvo's safety heritage makes it one of the most family-friendly brands around. The XC60 is the natural mid-size choice, the compact XC40 is easy to run and park, and the seven-seat XC90 offers maximum space for larger families. The V60 and V90 estates are strong options too for those who prefer a lower car with a big boot.
It comes down to how much space and how many seats you need. City Safety automatic braking and Volvo's wider safety suite feature across the range, and a colleague can help you choose.
Yes. Vertu offers PCP and HP finance across its used Volvo range, and accepts part-exchange towards any car. A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth, and Vertu will still buy vehicles that have finance outstanding to settle.
PCP keeps monthly payments lower with an optional final payment, while HP splits the full cost into fixed payments until the car is yours. For figures tailored to you, our finance explained guide covers each option, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.
Every used Volvo is prepared and checked by Vertu's colleagues before it reaches the forecourt. That includes a full mechanical inspection, bodywork and paint repairs to match the original finish, alloy wheel refurbishment, and a check of the interior and electronics, so each car is ready to drive away.
Vertu also confirms every used car is free of outstanding finance and has never been written off or used as a taxi. Cars are sold with at least six months, or 6,000 miles, before the next service or MOT is due.
Yes. You can reserve or buy a used Volvo online through Vertu, choosing home delivery or collection from your local dealership. Free home delivery is available up to 30 miles, and every used car comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can change your mind after it arrives.
The process runs from browsing stock to a part-exchange valuation, then delivery or collection, with a personalised video tour of the car available before you commit. A colleague can guide you through any step online or by phone.
Vertu runs Volvo dealerships across the South West, so you can view the used Volvo range in person or reserve online for delivery. Locations include Volvo Exeter, Volvo Plymouth, Volvo Truro, Volvo Taunton, Volvo Barnstaple and Volvo Yeovil.
