Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.63%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.74%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.4%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.39%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.58%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.36%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.95%) · Brake pads wearing thin (14.25%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.69%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.5%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.39%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.43%)
