Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.8%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 8.56%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 5.17%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 4.68%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.53%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.71%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.19%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (13.78%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.68%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.05%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (6.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.91%)
