Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.33%
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 4.49%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.95%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.77%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.48%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Stop lamp not working 2.35%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.8%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (5.07%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.33%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (2.59%)
