MOT Analysis

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

36 MOT tests are recorded for this 1992 Vauxhall Nova (K556 ATF) between August 2005 and June 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 16 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (30 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Bodywork (19 issues), Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (16 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Vehicle structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a bod”; “Indicator switch inoperative hazard lamp switch non functional/taped up (4.4.2 (a) (ii))”.
