MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Vauxhall Corsa (SM09 HFL) between July 2023 and July 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
