Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.69%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.14%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.05%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.06%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.95%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
