Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.48%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 4.58%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.31%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Side repeater not working 2%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.87%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.68%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.94%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.84%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.87%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.74%)
