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 17 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Windscreen (11 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
