Buying Tips for the 2010 Volvo C30
- ✓If it is a Powershift car, insist on evidence of fluid changes because these gearboxes quickly become expensive when servicing is skipped
- ✓Test the heavy rear hatch, release button and remote locking repeatedly because C30 boot and latch faults are common with age
- ✓Sporty-looking cars often hide tired front bushes and top mounts, so budget for a suspension refresh if the nose knocks
- ✓A well-kept manual petrol or D2 is usually a safer everyday bet than a cheap automatic bought for looks alone
