Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 6.15%
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 4.75%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 4.04%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.86%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.8%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.64%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.

Brake pipes corroded and greasy (26.49%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (16.69%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.95%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.71%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.71%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (7.11%)
