The record contains 5 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
