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 1995 Volvo 900 Series (M885 PVR) between January 2006 and August 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 02 August 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (31 issues), Steering (12 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
