Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.42%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.69%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.68%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.33%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Windscreen washers not working 1.29%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.37%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.78%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.94%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (3.63%)
