Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 2.96%
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 1.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.04%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.04%
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 0.8%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.36%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.24%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.36%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.12%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.72%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (0.64%)
