Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.17%
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 7.51%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 7.23%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.09%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.93%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.34%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.39%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (19.56%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.46%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.38%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.87%)
