Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.82%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.28%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.17%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 3.66%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened 3.56%
A seriously weakened sub-frame can fail and affect steering and suspension, so it needs urgent repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.53%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.95%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.52%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.61%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.87%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.13%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (9.12%)
