2007 Volvo C70 2.4L Petrol · RO57 KUU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward suspension-related wear. While the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 113,778 miles flagged several advisories regarding the lower suspension and anti-roll bar, the car passed without failure. The transition from a clean record in previous years to multiple worn bushes and anti-roll bar linkages indicates that the rubber components are now reaching the end of their operational life. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 113,778 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 6,000 miles. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between December 2024 and December 2025. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy stress, but it also increases the age-related degradation of rubber parts and seals, which aligns with the appearance of worn suspension bushes and leaking shocks despite the low distance covered. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry, as the December 2025 test noted worn bushes on both nearside and offside lower suspension arms. The buyer should also check for play in the rear anti-roll bar linkages, which were flagged as having slight movement. The light misting on the nearside rear shock absorber noted in 2022 requires a close look to ensure the seal has not progressed to a significant leak. Additionally, the recurring inner edge wear on the offside rear tyre between 2022 and 2025 suggests a potential alignment issue that needs professional rectification to prevent premature tyre failure.
