Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.07%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.66%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.42%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.83%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Direction indicator wrong colour 1.83%
An indicator showing the wrong colour may confuse other drivers, so the lens or bulb should be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.77%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.45%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.86%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (13.8%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.14%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.13%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.66%)
