Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.26%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.64%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 3.49%
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 3.25%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Body structure corroded, rigidity reduced 2.34%
Serious corrosion in the body structure weakens crash protection and handling, so specialist inspection is essential.
Service brake excessively binding 2.3%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.63%) · Power steering pipe slightly corroded (5.83%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.73%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.47%) · Body structure corroded but rigid (4.86%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (4.5%)
