Top failures
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.44%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.32%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.14%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.61%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.34%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Position lamp not working 2.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (19.35%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (16.33%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.72%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (10.12%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.22%)
