Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.98%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.19%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.15%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.05%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.04%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.81%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.28%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.34%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.15%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.93%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.2%)
