Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.72%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.67%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.95%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 2.22%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 2.11%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Direction indicator wrong colour 1.78%
An indicator showing the wrong colour may confuse other drivers, so the lens or bulb should be replaced.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.78%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.51%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.78%) · Wheel bearing slight play (6%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.34%)
