MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Corsa (KG53 HDJ) between November 2006 and April 2012.

The record contains 6 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 30 April 2012 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 5 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 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Nearside Front constant velocity joint gaiter insecurely mounted to its housing (2.5.C.1a)”.
