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

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (52 issues), Suspension (24 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
