MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Astra (KS03 VYY) between July 2006 and November 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 18 November 2025 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 (54 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 59 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: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle by more than 50% (1.2.1 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”.
