This may depend on some external factors such as lab's technology, measurement unit, patient's sex, age, health status etc.

However, according to MedSipo (http://medsipo.com/details/mcv) you can, but this is not very good. The reference range (95% of healthy adults have results within this range) is 80-100 fl., so a MCV of 55 is LOW!

The same source states that low MCVs are associated with: Iron deficiency anemia or with Inherited disorders such as thalassemia.
