Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.27%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.96%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 3.82%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.3%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.41%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.59%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.51%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.9%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.13%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.48%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.21%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.98%)
