MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volvo Xc90 (RA53 OGE) between August 2024 and August 2025.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 22 August 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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 Rear Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
