2010 Volvo C30 1.6L Petrol · VE10 SYA

The most recent MOT in September 2025 passed with several noted wear items. The main risk pattern involves wear on suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, along with some minor tyre damage on both the nearside rear and offside rear. The trend in the MOT history shows that while the vehicle passed in the most recent inspection, there has been a recurring note about suspension arm pins and bushes appearing in previous inspections. This suggests a consistent pattern of wear on these components. The mileage of 60,825 miles for a 2010 model, equating to roughly 3,802 miles per year, is relatively low for its age, which might suggest lighter use or extended periods of standing. However, the specific wear noted in the latest inspection indicates that components are showing age and wear. A buyer should first inspect the front and rear suspension components, paying close attention to the arm pins and bushes mentioned in the MOT history. Secondly, check the condition of the tyres, particularly the nearside rear tyre which was noted as slightly damaged or cracking. Finally, given the history, a thorough inspection of the drivetrain and any related fluid leaks should be performed.
