Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 3.71%
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 2.91%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.55%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.52%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Stop lamp not working 2.18%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.49%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.13%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.95%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.53%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.38%)
