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 1995 Vauxhall Astra (M838 TKX) between June 2006 and July 2015.

The record contains 9 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 16 July 2015 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emits dense blue smoke at idle (7.3.A.2b)”; “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”.
