Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 3.1%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.34%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.24%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.89%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.73%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.86%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.3%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.26%) · Exhaust mounting defective (2.77%)
