Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.71%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.61%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.56%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.7%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.2%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.16%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.06%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.11%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.25%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.4%)
