Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.8%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 6.57%
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 6.1%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Horn not working 5.72%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.74%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (18.71%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.69%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.47%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.3%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.42%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.72%)
