Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.02%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.76%
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 1.45%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 1.39%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Brake discs significantly worn 1.13%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.01%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (16.1%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.25%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.19%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.1%) · Exhaust mounting defective (5.09%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.52%)
