Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.76%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 2.51%
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 2.24%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.78%
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 1.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Side repeater not working 1.6%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.47%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.42%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.74%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.06%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.76%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.77%)
