Top failures
Number plate missing or insecure 0.8%
A missing or loose number plate is illegal and must be fixed before the car is used on the road.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.31%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.25%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.12%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
LED or HID headlamp cleaner inoperative 0.12%
Without a working cleaner, dirt can build up on LED or HID lenses and reduce light output, so repair is needed.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.12%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.42%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.56%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.5%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.31%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.25%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.19%)
