MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (SX54 AKU) between January 2008 and January 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 21 January 2022 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 (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Upper Macpherson strut pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Upper Macpherson strut pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
