Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 11.79%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.95%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.62%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.33%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 2.2%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (16.27%) · Exhaust mounting defective (9.65%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.58%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.2%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.35%)
