Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.62%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.37%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.35%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.12%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.04%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.63%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.77%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.75%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.49%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.81%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.11%)
