Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.16%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.37%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.1%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.73%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.39%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.01%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.25%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.19%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.78%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.73%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (4.34%)
