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 18 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Inner Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords cut sidewall tyre ”; “Nearside Front suspension has excessive movement at a suspension ball joint (2.5.A.1c)”.
