Top failures
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.14%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.73%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Stop lamp not working 0.62%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.55%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.48%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.64%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.46%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.6%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.25%) · Brake hose ferrule slightly corroded (1.94%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (1.9%)
