Depreciation Insight
Like most vehicles, the Volvo V50 experiences a natural decline in market value over time. Based on global usage patterns and resale data, the following estimates provide a realistic outlook:
- First year: typically loses 15‑20% of its value
- Second year: additional loss of around 10‑12%
- Between years 3 to 5: cumulative depreciation of about 40‑55% from the original price
- Beyond five years: the car may thrive in a niche market, often maintaining around 30‑35% of its initial value, especially if it has low mileage and a clean service record
These percentages illustrate that a well‑maintained 2005 V50 today could still command a notable premium, particularly in markets where safety and build quality are highly valued. By contrast
