Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.69%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.67%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Stop lamp not working 6.07%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 5.01%
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 3.76%
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 3.19%
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 (13.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.33%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.17%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (6.29%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.15%)
