VOLVO C30 (2007-09) 3DR SPORTS COUPE 1.6 100 R DESIGN SPORT

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The VOLVO C30 (2007-09) 3DR SPORTS COUPE 1.6 100 R DESIGN SPORT is a compact, three-door hatchback with coupe-inspired styling, rather than a saloon. In the UK it sits in the premium small-car class, offering an alternative to hatchbacks and rivals such as the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series. Its R Design Sport trim gives this C30 a sportier look, while the 1.6-litre petrol engine and manageable size suit commuting, town trips and occasional longer journeys. It is best for singles, couples or small households wanting a stylish used car; the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat access. mycarcheck.com records 2,059 look-ups covering 916 different VINs, a substantial sample. Checked cars averaged £2,000 in private-sale valuation, 98,000 miles and around 6,000 miles annually; recorded keepers averaged 4.4. These figures describe checked examples, not every car. The C30’s unusual styling and composed road manners help it clearly stand apart.
