Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

years with an unblemished record escaped with a warning after appearing at a public inquiry to answer allegations of poor maintenance. Croydon-based F Dixon Transport was called before Deputy South Eastern TC Francis Burton after it received a series of prohibitions, including 13 for brake faults. Vehicle examiner Steve Hesmondhalgh said he examined several vehicles at the company's depot and issued a number of prohibitions. Hesmondhalgh added that the recent series of prohibitions and a 66% pass rate at annual test suggested the firm's maintenance regime had failed. Director Christopher Bonfield said the firm was now on top of its maintenance. Accepting that an original warning letter had been retracted, the DTC ordered one to be sent. He also requested the Vito make a follow-up investigation at the firm's yard without warning.
