Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.01%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 2.37%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.24%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 1.22%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.22%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 1.1%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.45%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.55%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.74%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.17%)
