Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.04%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 2.2%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.84%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.25%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.15%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.1%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.18%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.53%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.3%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.85%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.01%)
