Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.83%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.66%
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 1.86%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.52%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.49%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Horn not working 1.48%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.06%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.41%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.41%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.77%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.53%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.43%)
