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

The record contains 14 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
