Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.55%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.86%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 3.4%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.85%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.53%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.23%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.37%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.05%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.65%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.56%)
