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 15 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Steering (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced (4.1.4 (b))”.
