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

The record contains 7 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (37 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
