Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 3.45%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.77%
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 2.38%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.27%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.24%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.48%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.66%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.13%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (5.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.31%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.77%)
