2009 Volvo C30 1.6L Diesel · LS59 WVA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing history. The latest MOT conducted on 4 February 2025 at 91,158 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance. Since the February 2024 test, the car has maintained a clean record without failures, indicating a period of mechanical stability over the last sixteen months. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 91,158 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,362 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with a 7,281-mile gap between May 2022 and February 2024, and another 7,680 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025. While low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing or brake components seizing if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from corrosion in the sills and underbody. The recurring failures in 2022 and 2025 did not list specific defects in the record, which often implies minor items like bulbs, wipers, or emissions adjustments that were quickly resolved. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and check brake calipers for signs of binding to ensure the age of the vehicle has not led to material degradation despite the low mileage.
