Top failures
Service brakes uneven across an axle 5.75%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 5.45%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 4.95%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.59%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Service brake efficiency below minimum 4.34%
The brakes are not stopping the car effectively enough, a serious safety risk that needs urgent repair before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.14%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (16.05%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.9%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.92%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.81%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (5.2%)
