Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 7.95%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.95%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 6.82%
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 6.15%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.5%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 3.37%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (21.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.79%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (11.24%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.27%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.9%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (9%)
