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

The record contains 10 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Steering (11 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
