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 19 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
