Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.12%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 1.77%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.76%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.69%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 1.64%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.64%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.63%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.95%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.73%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (4.27%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.22%)
