Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.81%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.11%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.57%
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 2.16%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.63%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.52%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.97%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.12%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.04%)
