Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.44%
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 3.46%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.34%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 2.64%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.79%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.73%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.91%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.75%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.29%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (3.9%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (3.75%)
