Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.13%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 2.85%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.78%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.37%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.75%
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 (16.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.28%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.14%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.33%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.9%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.08%)
