Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 13.5%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 11.25%
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 6.76%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.97%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.92%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.84%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.02%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.24%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.19%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (4.67%)
