Top failures
Lambda reading outside specified limits 2.63%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 2.4%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 2.17%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.04%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.95%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.81%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.1%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.08%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.94%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.94%)
