2010 Volvo C30 1.6L Diesel · WD10 FNU

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted on 2026-01-22 at 88,765 miles, which resulted in a PASSED result. This indicates that while the vehicle meets the current statutory requirements, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of intermittent failures that suggests the condition of the car has deteriorated over time. The most recent test date, 2026-01-22, falls approximately two months before the current date of 2026-06-17, placing the vehicle's MOT status at risk of becoming a failure if no corrective action is taken. The mileage data suggests that the vehicle has accumulated approximately 5,548 miles annually over its 16-year life, which is consistent with its age but also indicates the presence of significant wear on critical components. The gap between the 2026-01-22 test and the 2026-06-17 current date represents a period of no MOTs, which is a critical indicator of potential wear on suspension elements and drivetrain parts. The rapid mileage accumulation without corresponding MOTs for a long duration suggests that the vehicle may be under significant stress, particularly concerning suspension bushings and brake discs, which are prone to failure under high mileage and age. In conclusion, the buyer must be prepared to inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, as the MOT record shows recurring issues such as a fractured coil spring, worn brake pads, and a major exhaust leak. The failure of the registration plate lamp and position lamp on the 2025-01-22 test indicates that electrical systems are not fully functional, which is a serious red flag for safety. The buyer should verify that the exhaust is clean and that the brake discs are not seriously weakened, as the 2026-01-22 test flagged these components as having worn thin but not severely weakened. Furthermore, the offside parking brake inoperative condition on the 2025-01-22 test suggests that the vehicle's braking system may require immediate attention to prevent further accidents.
