Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.62%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 0.48%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Stop lamp not working 0.28%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.25%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 0.22%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.2%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.65%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.24%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.29%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.06%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.01%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.9%)
