Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 6.31%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.41%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Service brake excessively binding 3.38%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Horn not working 3.26%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 2.74%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.72%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.15%) · Wheel bearing slight play (11.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.21%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (5.55%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.34%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.32%)
