Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.13%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.77%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Position lamp not working 3.27%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.09%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.47%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.44%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.04%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.98%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.88%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.13%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.82%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.74%)
