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 S40 (YC04 UPE) between September 2022 and September 2024.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 20 September 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 4 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 Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
