Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.76%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.18%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.7%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.64%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Position lamp not working 2.36%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.18%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.98%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.83%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.71%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (5.82%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.12%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (4.91%)
