MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Chevrolet Astro (P463 FWP) between January 2009 and June 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Bodywork (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
