MOT Analysis

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

35 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Vauxhall Astra (S373 BHC) between July 2005 and September 2024.

The record contains 20 passes and 15 failures.

The most recent test on 16 September 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 15 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (60 issues), Lighting (31 issues), Suspension (25 issues), Tyres (21 issues), Bodywork (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 114 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 Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Inner Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm attachment bracket/mounting corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
