Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 10.22%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 6.34%
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 4.69%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Stop lamp not working 4.58%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.31%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 4.15%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.74%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.21%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.5%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (6.12%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (4.69%)
