    My car passed the NCT but I still have a few questions to the report.

    Basically, I'm wondering how good/bad my numbers are, ie. what's the best you can realistically expect? Feel free to post your own numbers.

    Side-slip/alignment test
    Rear axle -8m/km - the limit is -18 to + 18 - how bad is this?

    Suspension test
    Rear axle imbalance 20% - fail limit 30% - should I do something about this?

    Brake test:
    Parking - brake: 14% imbalance - sounds like a fair amount, although the fail limit is 50% - is this common?

    Brake effort: 70% (fail limit below 55%) - doesn't sound too impressive, or does it?

    Parking: 23% (fail limit below 16%) - doesn't sound like a lot, or is this fairly standard?

    That sounds like nothing to be worried about TBH.

    If you were to do the test again tomorrow, you could find a difference in those figures. As said, not much to worry about.
