Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 8.62%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Position lamp not working 4.83%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.98%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.93%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.93%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.69%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
Wheel bearing slight play (18.18%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.33%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.1%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.51%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (7.37%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.22%)
