Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.64%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.86%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 7.79%
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 4.21%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.64%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.21%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.86%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (16.14%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.21%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (10.14%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.93%)
