MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Vauxhall Astra (AP55 GZV) between January 2009 and February 2019.

The record contains 11 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 20 February 2019 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 (9 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Steering (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
