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

The record contains 20 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Steering (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
