Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.01%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
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.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.23%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.74%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.58%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.55%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.34%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.5%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.75%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (1.68%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (1.62%)
