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 14 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Steering (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
