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 2001 Vauxhall Astra (AV51 EXA) between August 2006 and September 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 04 September 2015 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: Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”; “Offside Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”; “Nearside Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”.
