Top failures
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 4.54%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Position lamp not working 3.77%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.01%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.65%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.42%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.24%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.57%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.55%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.55%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.07%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (4.13%)
