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

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Windscreen (17 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
