Top failures

  1. Position lamp not working 6.65%

    A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.

  2. Stop lamp not working 4.8%

    A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.

  3. Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 3.79%

    A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.

  4. Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.21%

    Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.

  5. Registration plate lamp not working 2.43%

    A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.

  6. Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.38%

    Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.

Common advisories

Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.55%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.44%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.33%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.1%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.22%)
