Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.32%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.04%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.56%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.07%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.5%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.5%
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 (20.42%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.26%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.36%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.71%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.46%)
