Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.41%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.36%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.36%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 4.19%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 3.7%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.37%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (21.79%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.69%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.39%) · Wheel bearing slight play (7.89%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.07%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.91%)
