Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 7.76%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.05%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 5.82%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.94%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.23%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (20.45%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.39%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.93%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (7.76%)
