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 13 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (19 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
