Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.23%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.85%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Service brake excessively binding 3.3%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.23%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.02%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.74%
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 (17.06%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.11%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (10.04%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (6.39%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.39%)
