Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.49%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 5.2%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.48%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.36%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.18%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 3.01%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
