Recently, my IELTS results were withheld as well. Mostly this happens when the difference in score between any 2 of your module is equal to or greater than 2 points. i.e say you got 6.5 on writing and 8.5 in reading (which was my case), your results can be withheld and the module will be evaluated once more.

I think, that's not the case. Last time, I appeared my Listening was 9 whereas writing was 6.5 and reading was 8 and Speaking was 7. It was not withheld.

What British Council told me IELTS Cambridge tends to recheck the examine and try to evaluate their process to find weaknesses and they randomly select the candidates. No one further knows what the reason to withhold the exam.
