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

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (20 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
