Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.06%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.72%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.57%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 2.66%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.34%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.19%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.04%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.13%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.73%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.69%)
