MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2011 Volvo V50 (BL11 XTW) between June 2014 and May 2026.

The record contains 13 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 15 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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: “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed 205/55R16 (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps both (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”.
