The record contains 8 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
