Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.42%
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 5.64%
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 4.65%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.27%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.92%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.52%
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 (16.49%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.63%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.9%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.15%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.49%)
