If you mean when the 240 replaced the 244 then I believe in the UK it was 1982 on a Y plate. If you mean when the 240 replaced the 144 then I believe it's 1974.

240
A Volvo 244 will get about 22 miles per gallon of gasoline.
All Volvo 240 models have four cylinder engines. The four in 240 indicates it is a four cylinder, just like the Volvo 260 is a six cylinder. The last number in the model designation indicates the number of doors. A 242 is a two-door. A 244 is a four-door sedan, and a 245 is a station wagon (estate).
Anything from 235 to 244
Sometime in the 1980's Volvo dropped the old numbering sequence of 242, 244, 245 to delineate their 200 series cars and went to calling them all 240's. The DL and GL are trim and equipment levels with the DL being the lower or less expensive. The old numbers meant first, the series number. Second is the number of engine cylinders and the third was the number of doors the car had. A 245 is a 200series car, with a 4 cylinder engine and 5 doors is a station wagon.
My 1982 244 GL tank was 60 liters / 13.2 imperial gallons / roughly 16 U.S. gallons
In the US most 244 DL's are not diesel but there are a few that are.
