Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.93%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 2.44%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.36%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.26%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.2%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.03%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.98%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.27%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.4%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.84%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.5%)
