Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.6%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 5.45%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.2%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.05%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 3.98%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.9%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (21.5%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.75%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.59%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.52%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (10.6%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (10.01%)
