Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.32%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.89%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.5%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.5%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.81%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.77%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.94%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (17.95%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.09%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.14%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.52%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.33%)
