Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.58%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.04%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Registration plate lamp not working 2%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.89%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.81%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.62%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.19%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (4.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.35%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.19%) · Headlamp lens has a coating (4.08%)
