MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volvo S40 (S904 CUB) between September 2005 and October 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 24 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 80 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: “Emissions not tested (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases box (6.1.2 (a))”.
