Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.12%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 6.06%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.74%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.88%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.55%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.42%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.87%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (19.68%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.55%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.8%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (9.41%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.03%)
