Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.91%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.29%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.27%
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 4.15%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.34%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.83%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.15%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.37%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.95%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.07%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.87%)
