Top failures
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 3.97%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 2.19%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.19%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.65%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.53%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (17.32%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.01%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.52%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.47%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.11%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (4.75%)
