Top failures
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.97%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.89%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.85%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.59%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.35%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.96%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.23%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.56%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.63%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.36%)
