| Acer Master Member Last Online: Feb 12th, 2020 14:24 Join Date: Oct 2014 Location: Bromley |  V40 - what are the common faults? Interested in buying a V40 and would like to hear from current owners re the key issues. I appreciate the vehicle only went into production in 2012, but perhaps some gremlins have already revealed themselves? |

| tomweston Member Last Online: Aug 26th, 2019 11:17 Join Date: Aug 2014 Location: Knutsford | Depends on the variant. I have 2013 V40 D2 with 28k on the clock now, bought in June 2016 with 19k on the clock, so far I have had a diesel injector replaced. Everything else is good, very pleased with the fuel consumption, very economical practical car. Interior specification is very good, no rattles or groans, very quiet to drive, stop start works well. Phone integration is good, easy to use. It also has city braking which I was sceptical about but it has acivated once. The hill start assist is very good and I miss it on my mx5. Rear parking sensors would be a benefit but not retro fitted yet. |

| steV50 Senior Member Last Online: Today 12:31 Join Date: Dec 2013 Location: Dorset | I have not read anything about any particular issues with the V40. The 5 cylinder engines and the 1.6 D2 in earlier models are well proven engines. There were EGR issues with the new 4 cylinder D4 but I believe this has now been resolved. I have done 16,000 miles in my 2016 V40 with the new T2 petrol engine and am very happy with the car. I agree with the above comment regarding parking sensors, rear visibility is not that great and parking sensors are a must. |

| Manojzs I've Been Banned Last Online: Feb 10th, 2020 16:42 Join Date: Jun 2017 Location: Harrow | I had a 2012 V40 D3 and in 2015 the alternator failed which was covered by warranty but i had to pay for the new battery which the alternator had killed cost £300 iirc which i didnt think was fair! Other than that nothing else went wrong i only did 50k in it though. I think the D3 5cyliner i had in mine was a great engine. |
