Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.33%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.89%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 6.21%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 5.07%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 4.24%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (21.12%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.82%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (11.36%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (10.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.16%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.02%)
