Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.45%
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 5.48%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.89%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.1%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.98%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.93%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.09%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.51%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.92%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (8.52%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.42%)
