The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
