Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 3.04%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.73%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.52%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.2%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.14%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.14%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.49%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.25%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.71%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.57%)
