Top failures
Position lamp not working 4%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 2.3%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 2.25%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.14%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.24%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.98%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.53%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.79%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.87%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.55%)
