Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.14%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.56%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.36%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.26%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.25%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (7.53%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.48%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.38%)
