Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.75%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 7.58%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Reversing lamp not working 4.51%
A failed reversing lamp makes manoeuvring in the dark harder and is a fault that needs fixing.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.98%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.22%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.05%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.4%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (16.52%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.79%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.91%)
