Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.05%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.92%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.58%
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 1.48%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Plate lamp not lit with position lamps 1.09%
The plate lamp must light with the position lamps, so this fault is illegal and should be corrected.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.34%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.48%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.33%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.24%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.04%)
