MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Opel Astra Convertible (RY02 SXK) between May 2006 and August 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 16 August 2022 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: Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 Windscreen washer jets misaligned and not providing sufficient fluid to the windscreen (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
