Top failures
Position lamp not working 4%
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 3.61%
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 2.75%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.52%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.44%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.05%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.95%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.44%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (3.51%)
