Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.92%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.6%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.92%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Service brake excessively binding 2.42%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Rear fog lamp not working 2.08%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.14%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.59%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.33%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.14%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (3.81%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.78%)
