What Honda Civic Aerodeck failures look like

4,076 Honda Civic Aerodeck tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 3,195 tests (78.4%), with brakes on 1,950 tests (47.8%) and with body, structure and attachments on 936 tests (23.0%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
