Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.46%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Position lamp switch not operating correctly 0.26%
A faulty switch can leave the rear lights off when headlamps are on, and it is a MOT fail.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.13%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Rear fog lamp switch missing 0.13%
Without a working fog lamp switch, the fog lamps cannot be used properly, so the switch needs fitting or repair.
Windscreen washers not working 0.13%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.13%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.85%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.26%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.06%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.79%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.33%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.26%)
