Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 10.28%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 6.06%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 5.59%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.05%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.02%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 2.97%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.32%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.24%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.87%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.82%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.68%)
