The record contains 17 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (29 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Bodywork (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
