MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Vauxhall Zafira (YH53 UVR) between October 2006 and March 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 29 March 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (33 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 67 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 Anti-lock braking system component excessively damaged abs sensor (1.6 (e))”; “Exhaust emits excessive smoke or vapour likely to obscure the vision of other road users (8.2.2.2 (c))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
