Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 6.33%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.86%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.17%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.67%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.52%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.42%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.15%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.99%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.03%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (4.47%)
