Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 5.53%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.96%
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 2.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.06%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.03%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.98%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.4%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.83%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.5%)
