Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.46%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.41%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.91%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.22%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.47%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
