Top failures
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.79%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 4.02%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.2%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.99%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.78%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.78%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (25.88%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.73%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (8.51%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.14%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.01%)
