MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Vauxhall Corsa (N346 GPP) between December 2005 and November 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 12 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (68 issues), Lighting (36 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 115 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 Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength unde”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”.
