The record contains 15 passes and 4 failures.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”; “Nearside Rear Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress ”.
