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 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (22 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
