Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.13%
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 5.21%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.54%
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.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.38%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.38%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (24.55%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.09%) · Wheel bearing slight play (9.02%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.84%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (8.33%) · Steering wheel slight free play (6.47%)
