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 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
