Top failures
Stop lamp not working 3.44%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.9%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 2.8%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Rear fog lamp not working 2.23%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.23%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.16%
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 (12.44%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.59%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.28%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.87%) · Wheel bearing slight play (5.63%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (5.29%)
