Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.33%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.95%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.15%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.99%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.99%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.52%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.85%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (2.95%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.64%)
