Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 10.04%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.09%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 6.63%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.93%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.2%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.02%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (23.74%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.65%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.51%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.86%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (8.62%)
