Top failures
Stop lamp not working 2.97%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.65%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.39%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.98%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.38%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.72%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.97%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.69%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.57%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.27%)
