MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (BK05 HMF) between March 2008 and January 2022.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 17 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: Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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 Inner Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”.
