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 1998 Vauxhall Brava (S730 ACN) between August 2006 and August 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 08 August 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (26 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Rear Stop lamp(s) showing white light to the rear lense broke (4.3.3 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Inner Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural”; “Offside Inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill (7.1.1 (a) (i))”.
