MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (RN05 NNU) between June 2008 and April 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 11 April 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Headlamp has a product on the light source so that the light output is severely reduced (4.1.4 (b))”.
