MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Volvo S40 (BJ56 PYW) between November 2009 and October 2013.

The record contains 5 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 17 October 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Headlamp aim not tested (1.8.A.1c)”; “Nearside Headlamp not in good working order adversely affecting beam image (1.2.4a)”.
