MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Corsa (KJ53 CTO) between September 2006 and July 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 29 July 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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: “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect outer head lamp lens weathered / no beam image output (”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn drop link (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Steering column attachment defective to the extent that there is a serious risk of detachment (2.2.2 (d) (ii))”.
