Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.29%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.78%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.56%
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 3.87%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.83%
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 3.01%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (13.91%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.32%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.46%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.01%)
