Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
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.
Outline marker lamp not working 1.46%
A failed outline marker lamp makes the car's width harder to see in the dark, and it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.44%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.29%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Position lamp not working 1.29%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.14%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.82%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.19%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.98%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.05%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.02%)
