Top failures
Side repeater not working 5.01%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.3%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.2%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.79%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.27%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.68%
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 (19.22%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (13.12%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.63%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.54%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.71%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.83%)
