2009 Volvo C30 2.0L Diesel · LD59 TFY

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 at 65,857 miles. The trend across the last three years is stable: brake pads and discs show progressive thinning but remain within the legal minimum, while wheel‑rim distortion and minor tyre damage recur without escalation to a failure. No new structural or emission defects have appeared since the 2022 test, indicating that the recent maintenance has kept the car compliant. At 65,857 miles the car averages roughly 3,900 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2009 model. The mileage log shows a steady increase of 1,500–2,000 miles between each annual test, with no abrupt spikes that would suggest a period of intensive use. This low‑kilometre profile aligns with the relatively clean defect record, apart from the recurring wear items noted above. A prospective buyer should focus on the brake assembly, confirming that the front pads have been replaced or are still above the 3 mm minimum and that the discs are free of deep scoring. The wheel rims flagged as slightly distorted in 2023 and 2024 merit a visual inspection for cracks or out‑of‑roundness, and the tyres should be examined for the off‑side rear cracking noted in the latest test and for any exposed ply. The 2020 suspension‑arm bush wear suggests that the front suspension may have been serviced, but a check of the bushings and coil springs for play is advisable. Finally, the repeated position‑lamp failures from 2015 through 2021 indicate that the lighting circuit may be prone to faults; confirming full operation of all lamps will avoid an unexpected failure at the next test.
