The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (21 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of”; “Offside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
