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

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Windscreen (22 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (13 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
