Top failures
Headlamp aim set too low 4.08%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.11%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Horn not working 2.42%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.14%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 1.87%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.8%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.93%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.68%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.15%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (7.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.18%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.63%)
