Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 12.86%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 11.9%
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 6.77%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 4.87%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.77%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.46%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.82%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.31%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.41%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.49%) · Exhaust mounting defective (5.59%)
