MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volvo S40 (BP57 XFA) between January 2011 and July 2020.

The record contains 10 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 27 July 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Road wheel fixing missing nut missing (5.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
