Volvo C30 For Sale Prices & Depreciation Trend
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Volvo C30 you would aim to buy a 3 year old and you can keep it for some time before needing to worry about a big drop in value.
| Year | £ Average Price | £ Drop | % Depreciation |
| 2012 | £17,174.00 | - | - |
| 2011 | £17,174.00 | £0.00 | 0.00 |

Sample Sizes
The depreciation is based on analysis of UK retail prices over 3 years, using new brochure prices, a sample of 288 cars first registered in 2011, 396 cars first registered in 2010, 529 cars first registered in 2009, 1043 cars first registered in 2008.
Petrol Volvo C30 cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.
Diesel Volvo C30 cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Petrol Volvo C30 cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.

Used Volvo C30 – Buyer’s Guide
Why buy a Used Volvo C30?
The C30 is Volvos singular take 3 door hatchback. Instead of taking a needlessly sporting and 'youthful' view Volvo have made a rational and thoughtful machine that is a joy to use day to day.
The C30 gets the stand out interior of the V40 and S40 - their peerless seats and mechanical reliability but with an added dose of style. It's a car we rate very highly.
I’ve seen several Used Volvo C30 for sale, which should I buy?
We'd go petrol on this car. The 1.6 and 2.0 diesel motors are very good Ford engines but they command a premium of up to £1500 over the comparative petrol cars. It's not worth it.
The 1.8 petrol engine suits the car well. Especially when combined with R-Design sport trim although if you are after a smooth ride go for SE spec.
Fault Checks for the Volvo C30
I’ve seen a Used Volvo C30 for sale, what is a good price?
Pay £9500 for a 3 year old 1.8 petrol with no more than the average mileage of 26,500.
Around 3.5 years after the first MOT would be a good time to buy. Depreciation should be fairly gentle after this point. R-design cars hold on to their value much better.
