Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.98%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.07%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.85%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.51%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 2.02%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 1.93%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.5%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.31%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.28%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.04%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.25%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.72%)
