Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.75%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 5.91%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.59%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.75%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 3.28%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.86%
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 (17.02%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.38%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.3%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (4.64%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.45%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.47%)
