Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.92%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.43%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.05%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.64%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.46%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.92%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.37%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.29%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.7%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.6%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.28%)
