Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 7.06%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.36%
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 5.48%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.3%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.97%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 3.54%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (16.87%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.15%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.33%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (7.15%)
