Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.52%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.36%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.24%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel smoke above limit, post-2014 2.2%
Excess diesel smoke can point to poor combustion or engine wear, which can be costly, so check before buying.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.16%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.96%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.65%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.88%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.96%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.32%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.68%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.2%)
