The record contains 13 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Steering (2 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
