Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 6.94%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.39%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.29%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.29%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.03%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Windscreen washers not working 2.03%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
