Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 9.19%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.52%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 6.51%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.69%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 4.27%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.28%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.61%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.48%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.08%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.83%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (9.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.11%)
