Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.89%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 8.02%
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 6.67%
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 5.6%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 4.31%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.23%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.22%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.37%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.56%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.1%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.02%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.59%)
