Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.97%
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 2.79%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.56%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.54%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.29%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Stop lamp not working 1.99%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.5%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.43%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.02%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.25%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (6.99%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.79%)
