EO53 AFU MOT History

Vehicle record last updated: 14 Oct 2026, 05:48

MOT Analysis

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

38 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Combo (EO53 AFU) between June 2006 and December 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 18 failures.

The most recent test on 16 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 18 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (46 issues), Brakes (33 issues), Suspension (26 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Steering (12 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 87 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: “Brake performance unable to be tested due to burst pipe (1.2.1 (g))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system (1.1.11 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
