Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.08%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.79%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.67%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.21%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.48%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.55%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.95%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.35%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.4%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.97%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.4%)
