Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.14%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.85%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.57%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.51%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.49%
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 2.41%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.89%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (11.55%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.43%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.09%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.93%)
