Translate a Car Service Report Into What Actually Needs Doing and What Can Wait

The service centre has handed you a list of items and used the words advisory and recommended and required in ways that are not clearly differentiated. This translates each item: what it is, whether it is safety-critical, how urgent it actually is, roughly what it costs, and what happens if you leave it. Then it ranks them so you know what to do first.

You have collected your car from a service and been handed a report with a list of items requiring attention, each flagged as advisory or required. Translate the service report below into plain language.

For each item on the report, provide: what it means in plain terms; whether it is safety-critical or a maintenance item; roughly how urgent it is (immediate, next three months, next year); an approximate indication of what it would typically cost for this type of repair; and a brief note on what happens if it is left unaddressed. End with a simple ranking of the items in priority order, from most urgent to least.
