Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.79%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 5.72%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.39%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.98%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.86%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.65%
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 (17.76%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.16%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.79%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.74%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.25%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (5.28%)
