Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Windscreen (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 66 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”.
