Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.27%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 4.15%
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 3.96%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.26%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.2%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Horn not working 1.95%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.6%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.48%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (12.13%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.52%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.79%)
