Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.15%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.42%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.93%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.24%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.93%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.49%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.58%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.42%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.01%)
