Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 10.48%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.68%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 6.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.06%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.94%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.94%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (24.19%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.55%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.36%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.68%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.52%)
