Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.42%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.76%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.98%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rear fog lamp not working 4.2%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.1%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.81%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (28.03%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (24.22%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (12.79%) · Wheel bearing slight play (12.5%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.81%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (7.71%)
