MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (BK05 HKC) between January 2008 and June 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 28 June 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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 Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
