Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 16 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure inner sidewall (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure inner sidewall (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Front Windscreen washer not working both (3.5 (a))”.
Common Problems: VOLVO C30
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Powershift gearbox faults(Serious)
Dual-clutch Powershift transmissions can jerk, overheat or fail expensively if fluid servicing has been skipped.
- Rear hatch latch and lock faults(Moderate)
The C30’s glass-heavy hatch and latch wiring can cause intermittent boot release problems or central-locking behaviour that feels random.
- Front suspension bush and drop-link wear(Moderate)
The C30’s firmer setup means tired front bushes, links and top mounts show up quickly as knocks and a brittle ride.
