MOT Analysis

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

The record contains 20 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Electronic stability control warning lamp indicates a fault (7.12 (e))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
