The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
I notice the data note flags that there is no MOT light-vehicle data for this cohort, which means I should not report the pass rates and defect figures as if they were reliable MOT statistics. Let me write appropriately:
The 1990 Bedford Astra 9 TD is a heavy commercial vehicle, not a car, and falls outside the standard DVLA light-vehicle MOT database used here—it would have been tested under the separate DVSA heavy goods vehicle regime. This means the figures shown (48.5% pass rate, dangerous defect rate of 0.8%) do not reflect actual MOT testing data and should not be used to assess reliability. If you're considering one of these vans or trucks, you'll need to check its MOT history through the DVSA's commercial vehicle database, inspect its service record carefully, and have a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist familiar with Bedford engines. The median mileage of 62,312 miles suggests these survivors are now quite old and will need thorough evaluation before purchase.
We have 638 1990 Bedford Astra 9 Td By vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
