Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 12.06%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Position lamp not working 7.5%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 6.66%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Stop lamp not working 6.41%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Seat belt anchor area weakened 4.47%
Corrosion near a seat belt anchor can weaken the body and make the belt fail, so expert repair is needed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.22%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
