Top failures
Service brake excessively binding 1.65%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.18%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.06%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.83%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 0.77%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.6%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.95%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.95%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.24%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.06%)
