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 1994 Volvo 800 Series (M842 GPV) between January 2007 and April 2010.

The record contains 4 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 15 April 2010 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: Steering (6 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 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: “Offside Rear Registration plate lamp not illuminating the registration plate (1.1.C.1e)”; “Offside Front Headlamp not in good working order adversely affecting beam image (1.2.4a)”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
