Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 2.08%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.07%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.95%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.83%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 1.82%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 1.73%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.17%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.54%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.34%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.04%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.24%)
