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

This 2009 Vauxhall Astra currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass in October 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, which is a positive sign for immediate road legality. However, the history reveals a pattern of initial failures followed by same-day passes in both 2024 and 2025. While the car ultimately passed, the nature of the defects requires careful consideration. The condition trend appears to be improving regarding safety-critical components. The 2024 test flagged serious issues including a tyre cut deep enough to reach the cords and a damaged track rod end dust cover. In contrast, the 2025 failures were minor, relating only to headlamp colour and washer fluid levels. This reduction in severity suggests the vehicle has received attention to rectify significant wear items identified the previous year. Mileage relative to age is notably low, averaging around 4,046 miles per year. While this suggests lighter use, it can also indicate long periods of standing.
