Top failures
Obligatory rear fog lamp missing 1.36%
A rear fog lamp the car must have is missing, so it is illegal to drive until one is fitted.
Position lamp not working 1.14%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp switch missing 1.07%
Without a working fog lamp switch, the fog lamps cannot be used properly, so the switch needs fitting or repair.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.86%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.79%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.79%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.21%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.78%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (3.5%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.5%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1%)
