Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 10.12%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 7.93%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 6.93%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 4.21%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.87%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 3.56%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.55%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.74%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.74%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.03%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (6.62%)
