Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.62%
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 3.44%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.67%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Side repeater not working 2.31%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.21%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.14%
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 (16.44%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.85%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.71%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.83%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.61%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.88%)
