Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.3%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 3.53%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.06%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.59%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.7%
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 1.6%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
