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

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Vauxhall Astra (YJ56 ECZ) between December 2010 and January 2014.

The record contains 5 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 31 January 2014 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 (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 2 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: “Exhaust emits an excessive level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (7.4.B.3b)”; “Brake pedal anti-slip provision worn smooth (3.3.A.1b)”.
