Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.61%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.45%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Leaf spring fractured or seriously weakened 2.86%
A broken leaf spring can affect how the car sits and handles, so it needs urgent replacement.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.7%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.47%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 2.03%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.17%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.02%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.71%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (2.82%)
