MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Astra (LG53 DXA) between July 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 21 April 2026 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: Brakes (26 issues), Lighting (25 issues), Tyres (19 issues), Windscreen (15 issues), Suspension (14 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 65 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: “Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
