Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Outline marker lamp not working 1.48%
A failed outline marker lamp makes the car's width harder to see in the dark, and it must be repaired.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.38%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.32%
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 1.17%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.14%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.04%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.92%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.92%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.1%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.42%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.02%)
