Top failures
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 2.37%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 2.22%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.72%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 1.72%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.65%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.58%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.96%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.95%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (4.37%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.16%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.58%)
