Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.04%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.7%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.57%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.23%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.1%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.94%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.95%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (13.44%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.29%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.8%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.49%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.99%)
