Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.24%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 2.47%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.34%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.91%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 1.71%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.63%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.21%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.51%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.91%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (5.97%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.31%)
