Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.37%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.6%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.66%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.6%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pedal anti-slip provision missing 1.55%
A worn or missing pedal grip can let the foot slip off, which may delay braking in an emergency.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.88%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.43%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.05%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.05%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.93%)
