Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.74%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 4.32%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.26%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Stop lamp not working 4.07%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.83%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.83%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (21.05%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.88%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.81%) · Wheel bearing slight play (9.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.41%)
