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 21 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”.
