MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volvo C70 (RK53 NHM) between July 2008 and July 2015.

The record contains 8 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 13 July 2015 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: Lighting (14 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Steering (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Bonded suspension unit deteriorated and cannot function as intended (2.4.F.3)”; “Nearside Rear Bonded suspension unit deteriorated and cannot function as intended (2.4.F.3)”; “Offside Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f)”.
