Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.22%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 6.08%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 5.54%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.54%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Service brakes uneven across an axle 5.18%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.09%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (24.4%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.14%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (15.01%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.78%) · Wheel bearing slight play (11.97%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (11.08%)
