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 14 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
