Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 7.05%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.82%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.55%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.88%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.86%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 3.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Exhaust has minor gas leak (14.14%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.03%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.84%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.95%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.65%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.93%)
