MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Vauxhall Astra (SA56 SYJ) between September 2009 and March 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 13 March 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (25 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 57 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 Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Emissions unable to be completed r.e major exhaust blow (8.2.1.2 (d))”.
