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 900 Series (P933 DJO) between January 2006 and November 2024.

The record contains 20 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 27 November 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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: “Nearside Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Steering rack has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) alot of play in o/s/f steeri”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
