Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.7%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 4.13%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.85%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.82%
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 2.64%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
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 (13.14%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.15%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.32%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.64%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.43%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (5.94%)
