Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.32%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.99%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.66%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 1.62%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.62%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.58%
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 (8.96%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.57%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.87%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.65%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.13%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.03%)
