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

The record contains 21 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
