Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.68%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.21%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.12%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.06%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.53%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Outline marker lamp not working 0.53%
A failed outline marker lamp makes the car's width harder to see in the dark, and it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Suspension rod ball joint slight play (1.93%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.37%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (0.96%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.56%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.56%)
