Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 6.62%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Stop lamp not working 6.29%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.7%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 4.6%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Carbon monoxide high after fast idle 3.81%
High carbon monoxide can point to engine or catalytic converter faults, so ask for diagnosis before buying.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.41%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (15.93%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (15.73%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.14%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.24%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.71%)
