Top failures
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 3.98%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.32%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.52%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn 1.52%
Worn anti-roll bar bushes cause knocking noises and reduce handling stability, so they should be replaced.
Wheel bearing has excessive play 1.29%
A worn wheel bearing can fail, causing noise, tyre wear or a loose wheel, so it needs urgent repair.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.28%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.74%) · Wheel bearing slight play (8.17%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (5.68%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.6%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.45%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (3.35%)
