Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.56%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.91%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.87%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.65%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Propshaft bearing excessively worn 1.49%
A worn propshaft bearing can cause vibration and noise and may fail, potentially leaving the car stranded.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.34%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.1%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.34%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.12%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.31%) · Brake hose ferrule slightly corroded (2.17%)
