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 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (34 issues), Windscreen (10 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
