Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.5%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.59%
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 1.53%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Position lamp not working 1.5%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.32%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.13%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.09%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.43%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.04%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.32%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.73%)
