Top failures
Position lamp not working 17.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.4%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.69%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.97%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.91%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.57%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Slight play in steering rack joints (23.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (18.57%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.87%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.58%)
