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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volvo V40 (LK04 XHC) between June 2007 and February 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 24 February 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (56 issues), Tyres (25 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 86 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 Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Rear Seat belt webbing significantly weakened cut from edge greater than 2mm (7.1.2 (b))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”.
