The record contains 20 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 06 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
