MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volvo Xc90 (SV08 FTE) between February 2011 and August 2019.

The record contains 9 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 07 August 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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: “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Hand operated control valve fractured (1.1.5 (a))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
