Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.34%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 4.01%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.16%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.08%
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 2.52%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 2.22%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.82%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.39%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.85%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (4.59%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.36%)
