Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 5.06%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.68%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.94%
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 1.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.79%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Brake discs significantly worn 1.13%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (15.49%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.27%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.47%) · Exhaust mounting defective (5.96%) · Brake discs showing some wear (5.11%)
