Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 3.53%
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 2.61%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.54%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Position lamp not working 2%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.85%
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 (12.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.29%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.36%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.81%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.1%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.84%)
