MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Volvo 900 Series (N345 LUD) between May 2006 and April 2011.

The record contains 6 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 05 April 2011 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Steering (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 2 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 (7.1.2)”; “Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
