Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.61%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 2.52%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.36%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.16%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.93%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.84%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.64%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.61%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.15%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.74%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.7%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.69%)
