AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2006 Vauxhall Astra has a MOT history showing mixed results, with both passed and failed tests between 2019 and 2021. However, no defects were recorded in any of the entries, suggesting the vehicle met basic safety standards during these inspections. The most recent MOT on 2021-10-27 confirmed a pass at 168,808 miles, the same mileage listed in the history. This indicates the car has not been tested since 2021, leaving a five-year gap in documented safety checks. The pattern of MOT outcomes shows no clear trend of worsening issues. Failures in 2020 and 2019 occurred without recorded defects, which may reflect procedural errors, incomplete testing, or non-critical failures unrelated to safety. The absence of defects in all entries suggests the vehicle’s mechanical condition has not shown significant deterioration over the past decade. However, the lack of recent MOT data means there is no evidence to confirm whether the car has remained in a stable condition since 2021. The recorded mileage of 168,808 miles is roughly typical for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,440 miles per year. This suggests the car has been used regularly but not excessively.
