Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.69%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.31%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.39%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.35%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.61%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.58%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.47%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.43%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.88%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.77%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.51%)
