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 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (20 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Steering (6 issues), Bodywork (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
