Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (19 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Lighting (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Emissions unable to be completed (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear middle of car (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”.
