NCT report questions

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…

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.
