The record contains 20 passes and 16 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (48 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
