Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.66%
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 4.2%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.81%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.37%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.13%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.64%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.73%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.5%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.18%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.17%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.72%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.32%)
