Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.89%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.51%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.51%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.51%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.51%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.38%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (3.25%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.86%) · Wheel bearing slight play (0.95%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.76%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.76%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.7%)
