Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.65%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.4%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Main beam headlamp not working 2.28%
A failed main beam reduces night-time visibility on unlit roads, so the headlamp should be repaired promptly.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.11%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.89%
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 1.85%
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 (16.35%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.81%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.69%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.29%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.21%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.26%)
