MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Vauxhall Astra (GV51 XJC) between January 2006 and February 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 13 February 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 48 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: “Central Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded from load valve to offside rear wheel cylinder (3.6.B.2c)”; “Nearside Rear Braking system leaking (3.6.A.1)”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”.
