The record contains 21 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
