Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.91%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.68%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.65%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Main beam headlamp not working 1.5%
A failed main beam reduces night-time visibility on unlit roads, so the headlamp should be repaired promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.41%
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 1.24%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.12%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.54%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (2.61%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (2.43%)
