Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.44%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 6.58%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 6.16%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.48%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.33%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.99%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.89%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.39%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.86%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.56%)
