Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.18%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Seat belt anchor area weakened 4%
Corrosion near a seat belt anchor can weaken the body and make the belt fail, so expert repair is needed.
Position lamp not working 3.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 3.45%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.36%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.09%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.45%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (16.82%) · Wheel bearing slight play (10.45%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.18%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (7.91%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.09%)
