Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.06%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.23%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.68%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.66%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.63%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.61%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.78%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.59%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.92%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.96%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.28%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.1%)
