MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Volvo 800 Series (N585 BON) between August 2006 and September 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Suspension (4 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: “Emissions not tested (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak (8.2.1.1 (b))”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases catalytic converter corroded (6.1.2 (a))”.
