Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.72%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.83%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.31%
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 3.25%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 3%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.93%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.29%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.08%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.98%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.91%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.71%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.32%)
