Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.45%
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 3.84%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Side repeater not working 2.49%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.15%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 2.13%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.97%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.22%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (9.96%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.7%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.44%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (6.43%)
