Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.61%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.36%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 2.57%
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 2.28%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.19%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.06%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (14.24%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.96%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.87%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.76%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (6.47%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.47%)
