Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.52%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.63%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.39%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.31%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.49%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 2.03%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.76%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.2%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.53%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.64%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.59%)
