The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (22 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Steering (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
