Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.5%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.53%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 7.21%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.12%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 5.7%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Stop lamp not working 5.02%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (22.45%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (17.37%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.22%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (8.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.18%)
