Top failures
Side repeater not working 3.28%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Stop lamp not working 3.21%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.81%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 2.34%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.74%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.67%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (8.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.76%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.89%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.21%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (1.87%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (1.74%)
