Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.88%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.48%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.34%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.02%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.85%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.82%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.07%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.4%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (2.02%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.53%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.4%)
