Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.72%
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 4.58%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 4.06%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.52%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 3.39%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.84%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (23.18%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (16.54%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.12%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (8.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.92%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.54%)
