Top failures
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 2.18%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.46%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.35%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.23%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.12%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.69%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.32%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.81%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.68%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.94%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.15%)
