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 1999 Volvo V70 (T297 KDA) between February 2006 and March 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 12 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (32 issues), Tyres (26 issues), Steering (19 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Macpherson strut top bush or bearing has excessive wear or free play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Drive shaft likely to become detached (6.1.7 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”.
