Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.46%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.63%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 2.3%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.8%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.69%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.1%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.43%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.92%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.42%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.7%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.23%)
