Top failures
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 9.57%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Position lamp not working 6.6%
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 5.92%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Service brake excessively binding 4.21%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Stop lamp not working 4.09%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.04%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.78%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.49%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.21%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.2%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (9.95%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.91%)
