Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.91%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.41%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.68%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.62%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.9%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 0.9%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.25%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.15%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.65%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (1.56%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.14%)
