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 (SH05 XPV) between July 2008 and October 2021.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 25 October 2021 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (29 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
