Top failures
Service brake excessively binding 4.5%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Position lamp not working 4.31%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 2.66%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.62%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.33%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.28%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.83%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.82%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (6.41%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.15%)
