Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 2.71%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Fuel filler cap ineffective 1.47%
A faulty fuel cap can let fuel vapour escape and may trigger warning lights, so a replacement is usually simple.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 1.24%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.54%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 0.39%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.39%
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%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (4.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.25%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.17%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (1.78%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (1.62%)
