Top failures
Stop lamp not working 5.49%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 5.31%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 4.83%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.04%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.77%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.94%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.46%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.36%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (8.67%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.62%)
