Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 10.36%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 8.98%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.69%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 5.33%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 3.34%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.11%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.85%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.13%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5%) · Exhaust mounting defective (3.87%)
