Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.47%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.25%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.17%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.4%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.08%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.04%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.46%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.7%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (8.16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.28%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.73%)
