Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.97%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.5%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.4%
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 2.92%
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 2.66%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.36%
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 (18.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.31%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.77%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.97%)
