Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.77%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.5%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.91%
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 2.43%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.39%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.64%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.79%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.7%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.55%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.46%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.65%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.26%)
