Top failures
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.97%
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 2.9%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.86%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.75%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.9%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.19%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.7%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.56%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.38%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.19%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.58%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.17%)
