Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.35%
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 4.93%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.58%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.4%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.23%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 3.21%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.58%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.55%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.88%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.08%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.85%)
