DV58 LDN MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volvo C30 (DV58 LDN) between December 2011 and July 2026.
The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.
The most recent test on 10 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (39 issues), Tyres (21 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 57 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
Common Problems: VOLVO C30
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Powershift gearbox faults(Serious)
Dual-clutch Powershift transmissions can jerk, overheat or fail expensively if fluid servicing has been skipped.
- Rear hatch latch and lock faults(Moderate)
The C30’s glass-heavy hatch and latch wiring can cause intermittent boot release problems or central-locking behaviour that feels random.
- Front suspension bush and drop-link wear(Moderate)
The C30’s firmer setup means tired front bushes, links and top mounts show up quickly as knocks and a brittle ride.
