Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.22%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.33%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Position lamp not working 1.27%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 0.97%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.94%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
