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

The record contains 10 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
