Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 2.85%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.33%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.81%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.73%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.27%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.25%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.99%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.66%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.23%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.58%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.39%)
