Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.92%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.69%
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 1.81%
A failed main beam reduces night-time visibility on unlit roads, so the headlamp should be repaired promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 1.39%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.33%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.27%
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 (11.83%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.19%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.26%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.24%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.25%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.22%)
