Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.67%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.67%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 5.9%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.68%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Rear fog lamp not working 5.49%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Stop lamp not working 3.67%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (29.56%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.14%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (7.31%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.33%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (4.8%)
