MOT Analysis

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

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Corsa (DU05 RHO) between March 2008 and April 2012.

The record contains 5 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 23 April 2012 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Steering (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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 Steering arm has relative movement at its fixings (2.2.B.1h)”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
