Top failures
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.75%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.19%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.56%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 3.07%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.07%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 3%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.92%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.78%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.17%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.35%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.52%)
