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

The record contains 3 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (3 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
