Top failures
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.01%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.87%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
LED or HID headlamp cleaner inoperative 0.6%
Without a working cleaner, dirt can build up on LED or HID lenses and reduce light output, so repair is needed.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.54%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.47%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.4%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.57%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.02%) · Seat belt webbing slightly frayed (2.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.61%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (1.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.14%)
