Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 6.28%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.92%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.29%
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 3.15%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.58%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.5%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.61%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.28%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.82%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.74%)
