Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”.
