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 16 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
