2010 Volvo C30 1.6L Diesel · AV60 VNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 July 2025 with 131,067 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure recorded just two miles prior due to a blown offside front position lamp and a fractured nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage. The fact that the vehicle secured a clean pass immediately following these repairs indicates that the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are identified. At 131,067 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing with intervals of roughly 5,500 to 6,500 miles between each test from 2022 to 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of neglect, though the overall age naturally increases the likelihood degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems based on historical flags. The July 2024 test at 125,479 miles noted an offside front tyre worn to the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the 2023 report of pitted and scored rear brake discs necessitates a close check of current pad thickness and surface condition to ensure corrosion has not progressed significantly. While the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2024 was dismissed, a visual inspection of the engine block and sump area is required to confirm the leak has not worsened over time.
