MOT Analysis

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

The record contains 10 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Bodywork (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
