Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.36%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.08%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 5.37%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.9%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.67%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 4.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (18.29%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.77%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.26%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (11.27%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.83%)
