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 1997 Volvo S40 (P77 HAM) between March 2006 and June 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 30 June 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (14 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 49 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: “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ”; “Offside Front Headlamp light intensity severely reduced (4.1.4 (a))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp light intensity severely reduced (4.1.4 (a))”.
