2009 Volvo C30 1.6L Diesel · AF59 HHX

The Volvo C30 passed its most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 214,644 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The test record shows two paired fail-and-pass entries on the same dates in 2024 and 2025, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for those failures, which points to administrative or presentation anomalies rather than genuine roadworthiness faults. Mileage stands at 214,644 as of September 2025 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 12,600 miles per year, a high but steady annual use pattern for a 17-year-old car. The gap between the 2023 test at 205,600 miles and the 2024 failure at 207,955 miles shows only 2,355 miles in that year, then 6,689 miles to the 2025 pass, indicating irregular but not extreme accumulation. The clean sheet across all five entries suggests previous owners kept consumables and structure within test limits, though sparse commentary limits deeper insight into wear trends. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the age and high mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of incipient wear. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for binding or deterioration invisible to a pass-only record. The same-date fail/pass pairs in September 2024 and September 2025 warrant confirmation that no suppressed defect or partial test retry masks a hidden fault.
