The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (38 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
