Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 6.14%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Position lamp not working 6.08%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 5.72%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.66%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Service brakes uneven across an axle 4.65%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.94%
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 (30.59%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.73%) · Wheel bearing slight play (12.22%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.55%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.08%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (8.83%)
