GY09 XUD MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Volvo C30 (GY09 XUD) between June 2012 and April 2026.
The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.
The most recent test on 18 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 36 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: “Emissions unable to be completed due to leak of fuel (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Nearside Front Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
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.
