Top failures
Service brake excessively binding 6.62%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Position lamp not working 5.39%
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 3.14%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.1%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.71%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.6%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.03%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.75%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.54%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.71%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (7.33%)
