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 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Steering (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
