MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Volvo 800 Series (P510 APM) between June 2006 and March 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 10 March 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (17 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (15 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Lighting (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 63 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 emits dense blue smoke at idle (8.2.1.2 (f))”; “Exhaust emits excessive dense blue smoke during acceleration (8.2.1.2 (g))”; “Offside Front Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt boot insurcure (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”.
