Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 6.58%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Position lamp not working 6.25%
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 4.42%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.85%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.56%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.21%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.71%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.39%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (3.57%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.47%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.29%)
