Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 10.52%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 7.3%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.8%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 4.4%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Stop lamp not working 3.94%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.09%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.84%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.41%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.4%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.61%) · Exhaust mounting defective (4.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.96%)
