Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.7%
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 6.9%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.37%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.57%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.33%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.85%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (21.65%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.96%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.44%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.07%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (8.74%)
