Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.57%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.16%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.82%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.36%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.31%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.64%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.5%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (8.3%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (6.83%)
