Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.62%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.24%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.15%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 5%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.28%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.34%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.31%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.4%) · Optional stop lamp not working (3.3%)
