MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Vauxhall Astra (VE56 XVB) between February 2010 and September 2021.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 15 September 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Steering (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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 Front Battery insecure and likely to cause a short circuit (4.13 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
