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

The record contains 19 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
