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 2005 Vauxhall Corsa (NH05 SOC) between August 2008 and December 2020.

The record contains 13 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 19 December 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 51 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 Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded next to fuel tank (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
