Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.85%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.42%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.72%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.57%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.49%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.06%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.45%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.09%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (8.75%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.39%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.25%)
