Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.12%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.03%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.73%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.63%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.37%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 2.98%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.7%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.06%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.13%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.86%)
