Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 4.04%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.5%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.4%
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 2.12%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Position lamp not working 2.12%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.02%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.63%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.35%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.29%)
