Given the 2024-10-23 failure report showing worn rear tyres near legal limits and worn-on-edge tyres, inspect the tyre pressure monitoring system, wheel bearings, and outer tread depth meticulously. Check the front suspension arms and pins/bushes for signs of excessive wear, corrosion, or damage—particularly the rear arm noted as excessively worn in multiple failures. Verify that both front and rear registration plates comply with specification (0.1 (d)), ensuring they are properly mounted and legible. Test all lighting functions including headlamps, indicators, and the front light levelling mechanism, as the 2025-10-20 failure specifically cited inoperative offside and nearside headlamp levelling devices.
