MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Vauxhall Astra (T16 JDB) between April 2008 and June 2019.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 29 June 2019 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 (19 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Inner Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Lower Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
