Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.15%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.89%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.79%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 1.52%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.39%
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 1.3%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.

Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.4%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.09%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.93%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.48%)
