MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Vauxhall Astravan (BV08 UAL) between February 2011 and January 2018.

The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 15 January 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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: “Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm both front (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”.
