Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 3.57%
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 3.54%
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 2.48%
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 2.47%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 1.57%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.

Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.84%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.78%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.24%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.33%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.15%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.69%)
