Top failures
Stop lamp not working 8.4%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 8.23%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Position lamp not working 7.99%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.11%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Horn not working 4.82%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Direction indicator not working 4.23%
A failed indicator hides your turns from other road users, which is dangerous and must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.63%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.28%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.98%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.16%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (12.51%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (10.69%)
