Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.6%
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 4.03%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.63%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.62%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 2.38%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 2.34%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.34%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.31%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (7.79%) · Wheel bearing slight play (7.03%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.14%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (5.09%)
