MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volvo V70 (R805 RRG) between March 2006 and June 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 21 June 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (39 issues), Brakes (20 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 44 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 Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
