Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 11.25%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 9.49%
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 5%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.3%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.24%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Direction indicator wrong colour 3.01%
An indicator showing the wrong colour may confuse other drivers, so the lens or bulb should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (22.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.65%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.3%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (6.25%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.4%)
