Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 5.26%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.56%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 4.38%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Position lamp not working 4.22%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.88%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.81%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Wheel bearing slight play (13.58%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.37%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.35%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.25%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (5.99%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.07%)
