Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 7.93%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.8%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.2%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 3.96%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.76%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 3.67%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Coil spring showing some corrosion (17.71%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (16.03%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.27%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.91%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (9.48%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (9.02%)
