Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 5.6%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Stop lamp not working 3.57%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.94%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
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 2.65%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 2.63%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.77%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.12%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.84%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.86%)
