Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 16 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 Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Front Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”.
