MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Vauxhall Vectra (BV08 YRA) between February 2011 and November 2024.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 18 November 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (15 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Suspension (5 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 Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Power steering inoperative and steering adversely affected (2.1.5 (c) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
