Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.47%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.11%
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 6.35%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 5.28%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 5.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.73%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.79%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (20.58%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.93%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.19%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.29%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (4.54%)
