Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 9.95%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 8.58%
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 5.89%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5.8%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.72%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.26%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (23.26%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.03%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.57%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.7%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.06%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (4.91%)
