Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.03%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.3%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 3.72%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 3.69%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.68%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.49%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (23.24%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (18.15%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.24%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.82%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (8.23%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.9%)
