Top failures
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 6.46%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 5.76%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.52%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.52%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Rear fog lamp not working 4.43%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.71%
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 (27.89%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.44%) · Wheel bearing slight play (11.15%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.82%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.89%)
