The most recent test on 14 November 2009 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
