Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.59%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 5.46%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.04%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.82%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.06%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.99%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.51%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.35%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.12%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.18%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.84%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (4.57%)
