Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.33%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 7.03%
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 5.01%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 4.65%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Horn not working 4.32%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.05%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (18.33%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.86%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.61%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.06%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (5.78%)
