MOT Analysis

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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Vauxhall Astra (FB57 AAV) between June 2022 and June 2023.

The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 06 June 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Rear Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt burst (6”; “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
