Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.73%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.6%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.48%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.27%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Position lamp not working 1.22%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.16%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.49%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.7%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.32%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.14%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.25%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (1.75%)
