Top failures
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 8.3%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Position lamp not working 7.84%
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 7.52%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.69%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.51%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.58%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.4%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (14.45%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (10.21%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.18%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.52%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.49%)
