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

The record contains 8 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (27 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
