Top failures
Obligatory rear fog lamp missing 1.84%
A rear fog lamp the car must have is missing, so it is illegal to drive until one is fitted.
Position lamp not working 1.48%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.32%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rear fog lamp not steady red 1.12%
A rear fog lamp that is not steady red can confuse following drivers, so the bulb or wiring needs checking.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.96%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Rear fog lamp switch missing 0.92%
Without a working fog lamp switch, the fog lamps cannot be used properly, so the switch needs fitting or repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.25%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.36%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.91%) · Headlamp lens has a coating (1.58%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.79%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.76%)
