MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Vauxhall Astra (YP02 VFU) between May 2006 and May 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 13 May 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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: “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases Central section (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Headlamp has a product on the light source so that the light output is severely reduced (4.1.4 (b))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp has a product on the light source so that the light output is severely reduced (4.1.4 (b))”.
