Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.6%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.46%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.41%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.36%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 1.35%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.77%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.36%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.98%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.05%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (3.38%)
