Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.95%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 3.4%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.65%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.51%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Side repeater not working 2.49%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.34%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.94%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.2%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.46%)
