MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Vauxhall Corsa (S89 ACB) between October 2005 and May 2016.

The record contains 10 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 20 May 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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 rear brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.5a)”; “Offside Rear coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”.
