What Yamaha Xj 6 N Abs failures look like

1,053 Yamaha Xj 6 N Abs tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect.

A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
