2010 Volvo C30 1.6L Petrol · FT10 LKA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026, though it was flagged for a nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. There is a clear, recurring pattern of tyre-related defects. While the vehicle had two years of clean MOT results in 2023 and 2024, the trend appears to be worsening regarding tyre maintenance and condition. The history shows a cycle of perishing and uneven wear, moving from splitting tyres in 2022 to edge wear on multiple front tyres in 2025 and 2026. The mileage is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,092 miles per year. While this implies less wear on the engine and mechanical components, the history of perishing and splitting rubber suggests the car may have experienced long periods of standing. Low usage can lead to rubber degradation and cracking even if the tread depth remains high. You should prioritize a physical inspection of all tyres to check for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate alignment issues, and look closely at the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking. It is also worth checking the overall condition of other rubber components to ensure they have not aged poorly due to infrequent use.
