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 (20 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Bodywork (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
