Top failures
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 4.01%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Service brake excessively binding 2.69%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.9%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.78%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.53%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.97%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.31%) · Service brake slightly binding (3.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.93%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.59%)
