Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.65%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.45%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.3%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 1.83%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.79%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.4%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (9.94%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.41%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.41%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.21%)
