Top failures
Number plate missing or insecure 0.6%
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 0.34%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.3%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre tear from structural failure 0.26%
A tear in the tyre's structure means it can fail suddenly, so it must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.13%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.09%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.15%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.9%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.51%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.17%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.13%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.13%)
