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

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
