Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 8.67%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.87%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.96%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 5.61%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.44%
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 4.02%
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 (25.12%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.68%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.62%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.1%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.53%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.63%)
