Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.83%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.76%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 2.54%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.45%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Main beam headlamp not working 2.28%
A failed main beam reduces night-time visibility on unlit roads, so the headlamp should be repaired promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.97%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.02%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.41%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.15%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.99%)
