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 16 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stre”.
