Top failures
Stop lamp not working 6.44%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.52%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 5.29%
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 4.86%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.28%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.23%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
