Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.73%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.02%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.99%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.62%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.57%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.52%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.19%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.54%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (3.53%)
