Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.54%
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 4.07%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.16%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.88%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.62%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.38%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.92%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.06%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.95%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.02%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.61%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.45%)
