MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Astra (KH53 KJO) between December 2006 and January 2015.

The record contains 9 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 28 January 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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: “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (3.4.1c)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
