MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Vauxhall Astra (N24 SBL) between March 2011 and March 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 21 March 2026 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: Suspension (18 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 58 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 Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure all four 225/40/18 (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
