Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.42%
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 3.27%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.25%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.91%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 2.54%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.44%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
