Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 12.38%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 8.75%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Stop lamp not working 6.7%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 5.96%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 4.47%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.24%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.87%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.5%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (6.7%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.42%)
