Rare. Powerful. Sensible. Slightly rebellious.
Up for grabs at Drive Motors is something you genuinely do not see every day: a Volvo C30 D5 Automatic — yes, the five-cylinder diesel one.
Mileage: 130,914 miles
Condition: Still going strong. Still pulls like a train. Still makes sense.
Before you ask: no, this is not a tired old diesel hatchback. This is Volvo’s legendary D5 engine, paired with an automatic gearbox and wrapped in one of Volvo’s most distinctive designs.
Why this C30 is special:
Rare D5 engine – smooth, torquey, powerful, and famously durable
Automatic gearbox – relaxed cruising with proper shove when you need it
Full service history – maintained properly, not “when convenient”
Excellent mechanical order – drives exactly as it should
130k miles – barely broken in for a well-looked-after D5
This is the car for someone who wants:
Something different from the usual German options
Real-world performance without silly running costs
A compact car with genuine character
A diesel that was built to last, not just lease
It’s quick enough to surprise people, comfortable enough for long journeys, and solid enough to remind you why Volvo’s reputation exists in the first place.
At Drive Motors, we specialise in cars with stories — and this one’s story is simple:
