Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.41%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 4.61%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.64%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.58%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Service brake excessively binding 2.33%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.55%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.18%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.89%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.97%) · Service brake slightly binding (4.13%)
