Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.35%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.85%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.73%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.48%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Rear fog lamp not working 2.48%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.11%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.99%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.45%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.73%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.89%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.78%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.35%)
