Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.07%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.05%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.99%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 2.85%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.59%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.57%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.6%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.89%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.29%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.12%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.87%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.13%)
