Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.93%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.72%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.59%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.91%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.84%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.71%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.4%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (16.59%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.99%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (10.32%)
