Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 7.98%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 6.59%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.71%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.75%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.37%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 3.08%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
