Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.23%
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 2.73%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.21%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 2.04%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.03%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.02%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.7%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.18%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (5.74%)
