MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Volvo S40 (OV51 CFU) between September 2006 and January 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (32 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
