Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.13%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 5.36%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.97%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.9%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.45%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.14%
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 (19.49%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.87%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.61%) · Optional stop lamp not working (3.44%)
