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 18 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (13 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
