Top failures
Exhaust has major gas leak 5.09%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 4.93%
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 3.01%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.79%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.63%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.6%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.62%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.95%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.88%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (10.2%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.02%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9%)
