Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 6.55%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.72%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.11%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.86%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.67%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.67%
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 (18.17%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.54%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (3.51%)
