Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.02%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 6.32%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.82%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.69%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.5%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.5%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.72%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.59%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.34%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.83%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (8.14%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.83%)
