Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.6%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.87%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Diesel smoke above limit, post-2014 2.05%
Excess diesel smoke can point to poor combustion or engine wear, which can be costly, so check before buying.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.99%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.54%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (13.35%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.77%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.83%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.29%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.29%)
