Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.06%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.44%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.84%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.36%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 2.13%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.71%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.98%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.11%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.93%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.22%)
