Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.07%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.27%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.06%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.06%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 2.42%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.35%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.07%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.47%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (8.17%) · Wheel bearing slight play (6.7%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (4.49%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.32%)
