Top failures
Obligatory rear fog lamp missing 0.55%
A rear fog lamp the car must have is missing, so it is illegal to drive until one is fitted.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.31%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.24%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.17%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Position lamp not working 0.17%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.17%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.11%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.07%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.59%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.42%) · Headlamp lens has a coating (0.31%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.17%)
