2009 Volvo C30 2.0D R-Design Sport Coupe

Description

Got this Volvo C30 sitting in my garage in Aberdovey, Gwynedd — it’s been a solid companion for years, and I’m finally ready to part with it. It’s a 2009 2.0D R-Design Sport Coupe, 2-door, diesel, manual — so if you're into a bit of driving character with a clean, Scandinavian vibe, this one’s for you.

It’s got 116,000 miles on it, and honestly, it’s been well looked after. The body’s still sharp, the paint’s metallic black and holds up well, and the interior’s tidy — half leather seats, a floating console, climate control, cruise control, and a decent radio/CD player. The 2.0-litre diesel engine gives you 134 bhp and runs at a tidy 151 g/km, so it’s not flashy, but it’s reliable and gets you where you need to go without burning too much fuel.

The R-Design trim gives it a sporty edge — 17-inch alloys, a slightly stiffer suspension, and that aggressive stance. I’ve used it for everything from weekend drives to daily commutes, and it’s never let me down. Inside, it’s driver-focused with good storage, armrests, and a clean layout.

I’ve kept it serviced regularly, and it has a full service history. Safety features are solid — airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, side airbags, and even a whiplash protection system. There’s also a spare wheel, tyre repair kit, and everything you’d expect in a solid used car.

It’s not a flashy show car, but it’s dependable, well-built, and has a real character. I’ve driven it for over a decade, and I know it’s in good shape. The price is £2,151 — I figured it was time to move on.

If you’re looking for a reliable, slightly sporty diesel coupe that doesn’t demand much but still gets the job done, this one’s worth a look. I’m happy to chat if you’re interested — just let me know.
