Top failures
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 5.49%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.13%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Stop lamp not working 4.32%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.81%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.74%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.66%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (18.46%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.02%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.3%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.16%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.84%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.47%)
