Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Volvo C30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 June 2025 at 101,204 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test recorded no defects, and the preceding annual tests show no outstanding advisories or mechanical concerns. The owner cleared the vehicle through testing within days of a failed attempt, suggesting prompt administrative correction rather than deferred repair. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,229 miles for a 14-year-old car, with the odometer climbing from 93,924 miles at the June 2023 test to 98,228 miles in June 2024 and 101,204 miles by June 2025. The progression is linear and unremarkable for age. The record is sparse and clean, showing no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission failures across the three years captured. The June 2025 failure at 101,186 miles and the June 2024 failure at 98,228 miles both list no defects, which points to documentation or identification discrepancies at the testing station rather than component faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as MOT silence on advisories does not confirm absence of wear on a vehicle of this age. Given the clean trail and ordinary mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify the V5C and test certificate numbers match the DVSA entries, since the two zero-defect failures warrant confirmation that no mechanical rejection was omitted from the supplied record.
