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

The record contains 8 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
