2011 Volvo C30 2.0L Diesel · CT11 EWL

The 2025‑08‑08 MOT at 102,972 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend; earlier failures were limited to lamps and tyre wear, with no recurring structural or mechanical faults recorded. The mileage record shows a steady increase of roughly 5,000‑6,000 miles per year, matching the vehicle’s 15‑year age and typical usage; intervals between tests such as 2024‑08‑08 (97,445 mi) and 2023‑08‑08 (91,350 mi) are consistent, and the only notable gap is the dual testing at 91,350 mi in 2023, which reflects remedial work rather than neglect. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring, and verify tyre tread depth and edge wear, as the repeated 5.2.3 (e) tyre notes suggest possible alignment or suspension issues; also check for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, and confirm that all lamps, especially the registration plate lamp, function correctly, since previous failures in 2015‑2016 and 2023 indicate wiring neglect.
