Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.89%
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 8.41%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.08%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 6.5%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.96%
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 4.02%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Slight play in steering rack joints (22.23%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (19.26%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.67%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.34%)
