2007 Volvo C30 1.6L Diesel · GU57 KMZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-19 showed a pass with three advisories: nearside front tyre damage/cracking, offside rear suspension arm bush wear, and a registration plate lamp fault. These issues were also noted in earlier MOTs, indicating recurring concerns. The prior MOT on 2025-11-17 was a fail due to an SRS warning light, registration plate lamp fault, and tyre/suspension issues. This suggests intermittent or unresolved problems, particularly with lighting and suspension components. A pattern of tyre damage (cracking/perishing) and suspension wear (lower arm bush wear) has persisted across multiple MOTs since 2023. The registration plate lamp fault appears repeatedly, often linked to multiple lamps or light sources. While these are not critical safety risks, they highlight potential neglect or systemic issues with electrical components and tyre maintenance. The SRS warning light failure in 2025 was not mentioned in the latest MOT, implying it may have been repaired, but this remains unverified. The vehicle’s mileage of 120,529 miles for a 19-year-old car is typical , averaging ~6,344 miles annually. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, but older vehicles at this mileage often face age-related degradation.
