Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 11.43%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 6.29%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.55%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.48%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.22%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.13%
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 (17.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.53%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.28%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (2.62%)
