The record contains 18 passes and 12 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (44 issues), Brakes (30 issues), Windscreen (17 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (12 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
