Top failures
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.71%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
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.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.34%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Position lamp not working 1.27%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.13%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Outline marker lamp not working 1.04%
A failed outline marker lamp makes the car's width harder to see in the dark, and it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.47%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.65%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.5%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.14%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.86%)
