Top failures
Stop lamp not working 3.69%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.36%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.42%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.23%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.09%
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 1.09%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.95%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.7%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.55%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.61%)
