Top failures
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 6.16%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.22%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Stop lamp not working 5.11%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.59%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.18%
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 3.86%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (25.1%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.94%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.13%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.11%)
