MOT Analysis

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

36 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volvo V40 (YM04 UOY) between April 2007 and November 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 17 failures.

The most recent test on 12 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 17 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (48 issues), Lighting (47 issues), Tyres (33 issues), Suspension (18 issues), Windscreen (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 108 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: “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint dust cover insecure so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g)”; “Rear Registration plate inscription illegible (0.1 (b))”.
