MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Vauxhall Astra (BK52 HTU) between September 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 12 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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 Upper Macpherson strut top bush or bearing has excessive wear or free play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Lower Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly red”.
