Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.68%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.58%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 1.69%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.69%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.29%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.29%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.05%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (9.54%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.25%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (3.54%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.62%)
