Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.45%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.3%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.89%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.79%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.65%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.18%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.15%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.6%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.16%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.71%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (8.5%)
