Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.4%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.75%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.52%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.28%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.26%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.14%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.89%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.96%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.67%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.21%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.55%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.17%)
