Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 15.32%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 8.03%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.62%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 4.44%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.18%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.16%
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 (17.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.49%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.22%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.85%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.14%) · Service brake slightly binding (3.61%)
