Top failures
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.34%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Rear fog lamp not working 4.3%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Position lamp not working 3.71%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 3.34%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.72%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.31%
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 (12.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.88%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.84%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (5.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.96%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (4.91%)
