Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.69%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.5%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.55%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.98%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.71%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Stop lamp not working 3.43%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.64%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (11.03%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.89%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (4.19%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.03%) · Indicator lens slightly discoloured (4.03%)
