Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 3.09%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.92%
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 1.76%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.4%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.24%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.05%
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 (7.12%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.53%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.19%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.6%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.47%)
