Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (19 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Brake performance unable to be tested due to brake fluid leak (1.2.1 (g))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
