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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volvo S40 (V103 EEY) between September 2006 and October 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (76 issues), Suspension (49 issues), Lighting (24 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Bodywork (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 153 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 Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”; “Nearside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
