Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.47%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.8%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 3.16%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.66%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 2.29%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.75%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.85%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.49%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.65%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.84%)
