2009 Volvo C30 1.6L Diesel · GK09 ABF

This Volvo C30 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent test on 17 April 2025 at 153,255 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing without advisories, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,015 miles per year. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with 9,305 miles added between February 2023 and May 2024, and a further 8,280 miles accumulated by April 2025. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding specific failure data. While the vehicle failed its tests on 1 April 2025 and 30 April 2024, the records list no specific defects for these failures. This lack of detail makes it impossible to determine if the car suffered from recurring mechanical issues or simple consumable wear. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years is positive, but it may also indicate a tester who was less thorough. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related weaknesses for this model. Given the 153,255 mile odometer reading, check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts for perishing. Inspect the underbody and sills for corrosion, as the MOT record provides no data on structural integrity. Verify the brake disc thickness and check for binding calipers, as these components often wear out around this mileage regardless of a clean test sheet.
