Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.51%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 5.28%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.53%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.23%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.21%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.11%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.27%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (13.42%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (8.65%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.49%)
