Top failures
Stop lamp not working 8.52%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 4.4%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.19%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.1%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.05%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.88%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (23.57%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (15.24%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.94%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.85%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.33%)
