The record contains 17 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (19 issues), Brakes (17 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”.
