Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.5%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.44%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.44%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.28%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.28%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Number plate missing or insecure 0.17%
A missing or loose number plate is illegal and must be fixed before the car is used on the road.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.55%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.78%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (0.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.55%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.39%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.39%)
