Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 4.61%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.79%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Position lamp not working 3.38%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.88%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.14%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.98%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (17.22%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.98%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.23%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.48%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.07%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (7.08%)
