The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
