Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.27%
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 4.33%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.1%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.04%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.63%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.3%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (19.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.78%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.11%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.8%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.7%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.3%)
