MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (SA55 FCJ) between November 2008 and March 2022.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 16 March 2022 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: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Emissions not tested due to exhaust leak (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases center & rear silencer (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
