MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Vauxhall Astra (BN52 WMJ) between September 2006 and December 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 15 December 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (50 issues), Brakes (41 issues), Suspension (22 issues), Windscreen (17 issues), Tyres (15 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 115 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 Inner Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (1.1.12 (f) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Inner Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (1.1.12 (f) (i))”; “Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect both lights-product on lens (4.1.2 (c))”.
