Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.63%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.52%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.46%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 2.97%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.92%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake discs significantly worn 1.72%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (18.98%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.83%) · Exhaust mounting defective (10.1%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.03%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.76%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.32%)
