Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.73%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.65%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Position lamp not working 1.56%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 1.56%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.54%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.51%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.96%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.84%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.77%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (3.71%)
