Top failures
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 4.71%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.03%
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 2.31%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 2.29%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Position lamp not working 2.04%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 2.02%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (23.14%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.67%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.55%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.66%)
