Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.26%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.58%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.22%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.97%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.78%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Side repeater not working 2.71%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.62%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (13.49%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.2%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.21%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.73%)
