Top failures

  1. Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.01%

    Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.

  2. Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.5%

    Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.

  3. Exhaust has major gas leak 1.38%

    A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.

  4. Service brake excessively binding 0.94%

    A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.

  5. Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.69%

    A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.

  6. Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn 0.63%

    Worn anti-roll bar bushes cause knocking noises and reduce handling stability, so they should be replaced.

Common advisories

Brake pads wearing thin (6.27%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.02%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.89%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (3.39%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.01%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.88%)
