The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (29 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
