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 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (25 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (10 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
