Top failures
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 9.01%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 8.6%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Position lamp not working 7.04%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Service brake excessively binding 4.4%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.55%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.23%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (11.34%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.53%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.21%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.5%)
