Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.35%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Horn not working 3.48%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.3%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.56%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 2.32%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Body structure corroded, rigidity reduced 2.12%
Serious corrosion in the body structure weakens crash protection and handling, so specialist inspection is essential.
Common advisories
Wheel bearing slight play (16.94%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.76%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.31%) · Power steering pipe slightly corroded (4.52%)
