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 8 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
