Top failures
Position lamp not working 14.22%
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 7.95%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 7.36%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Registration plate lamp not working 6.31%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.83%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.72%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (22.7%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (16.48%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.22%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.71%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.26%)
