MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volvo S40 (CW05 AMK) between March 2008 and August 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 15 August 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Boot lid cannot be secured in the closed position (6.2.1 (e))”; “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Coil spring fractured or broken n/s/f (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
