Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.75%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.77%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.73%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.5%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.44%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.43%
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 (7.6%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.52%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (1.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.61%)
