Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.03%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.56%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.56%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 0.47%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.47%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
