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

The record contains 11 passes and 3 failures.

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