MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Vauxhall Astra (PJ51 YVD) between November 2005 and October 2015.

The record contains 11 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 16 October 2015 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 (16 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
