MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Astra (KD53 LXT) between September 2006 and September 2017.

The record contains 13 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 28 September 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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 Rear Hydraulic brake cylinder excessively weakened by corrosion (3.6.A.2b)”; “Nearside Rear Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (3.6.B.4e)”; “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively both front (8.2.2)”.
