Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 6.03%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.33%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Headlamp aim set too low 3.12%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.12%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 3.1%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.79%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.45%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.73%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.85%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.67%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (11.62%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (8.25%)
