MOT Analysis

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

6 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Volvo 800 Series (P254 SHR) between August 2006 and September 2009.

The record contains 4 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 01 September 2009 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: Lighting (10 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (3.4.1c)”; “Rear Exhaust system not adequately supported (7.1.1)”.
