2008 Volvo C30 1.6L Petrol · SD58 YPV

The 2025‑05‑29 MOT at 85,613 miles declared the 2008 Volvo C30 roadworthy with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance record that has persisted through the 2024‑03‑08, 2023‑04‑04 and 2022‑06‑20 tests, all of which also showed no defects. The vehicle’s 85,613 miles equate to about 4,756 miles per year for an 18‑year‑old model, indicating relatively light usage or extended periods of standing; the interval from the 2022‑06‑20 test at 62,588 miles to the 2023‑04‑04 test at 65,430 miles adds only 2,842 miles over ten months, while the jump to 83,550 miles by the 2024‑03‑08 test reflects a 18,120‑mile increase in a single year, yet the subsequent 2025 entry shows no rapid mileage accumulation and no recorded faults. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and look for structural rust on the chassis and exhaust system, as these components are prone to deterioration even when mileage is low and the MOT history records no explicit defects.
