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 1997 Volvo 900 Series (R835 ESG) between October 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 18 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (27 issues), Lighting (23 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (15 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Windscreen (14 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 86 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 emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”.
