Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.18%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.16%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.02%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 1.56%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.27%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.05%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.65%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (9.43%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.04%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.43%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (4.52%)
