Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.74%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 9.35%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.68%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 7.22%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.23%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 5.7%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (21.57%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.7%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.48%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (12.68%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.43%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.92%)
