The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
