MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Vauxhall Astra (MV57 UXO) between February 2011 and January 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 24 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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: “Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Inner Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Inner Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”.
