Top failures
Horn not working 5.43%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.37%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.13%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 3.41%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.17%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Service brake excessively binding 2.86%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Wheel bearing slight play (21.59%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.48%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.21%) · Power steering pipe slightly corroded (5.17%) · Body structure corroded but rigid (5.12%)
