MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (BK05 HMH) between April 2008 and February 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 20 February 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 (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 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: “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”.
