Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.08%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.94%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.25%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.01%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 3.8%
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 3.47%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.94%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (13.05%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.28%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.38%)
