Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 10.18%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Position lamp not working 5.26%
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 4.35%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.87%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.01%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Body structure corroded, rigidity reduced 2.77%
Serious corrosion in the body structure weakens crash protection and handling, so specialist inspection is essential.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.05%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (14.86%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (11.71%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.32%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.75%) · Wheel bearing slight play (9.03%)
