Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 7.38%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.85%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Horn not working 4.75%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.37%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 3.03%
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 2.79%
Serious corrosion in the body structure weakens crash protection and handling, so specialist inspection is essential.
Common advisories
Wheel bearing slight play (23.28%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.52%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.99%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.78%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (5.44%)
