Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.84%
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 2.87%
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 2.65%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.89%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.08%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.41%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.45%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.64%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.54%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (2.28%)
