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 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
