Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.76%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.64%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.89%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.7%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.59%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.01%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
