Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 4.75%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Stop lamp not working 3.29%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.63%
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 2.04%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.91%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.22%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.27%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.78%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.37%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.29%)
