Top failures
Number plate missing or insecure 0.9%
A missing or loose number plate is illegal and must be fixed before the car is used on the road.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 0.33%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.33%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.24%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Windscreen washer jets misaligned 0.24%
Misaligned washer jets leave the windscreen dirty and hard to see through, and are usually simple to adjust.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.16%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.42%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.63%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.73%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.24%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.24%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.16%)
