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

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
