Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.87%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.05%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.23%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.97%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Horn not working 1.83%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.77%
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 (10.76%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.6%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.84%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.94%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.42%)
