Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.46%
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 1.8%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.6%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.56%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.52%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.31%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.93%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.25%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.47%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.43%)
