Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.35%
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 2.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.01%
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 1.64%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.64%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.41%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.58%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.11%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.36%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.17%)
