Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.35%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.23%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.09%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.09%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Windscreen washers not working 3.09%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.19%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.18%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.61%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.92%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (3.32%)
