Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.52%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.43%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 3.43%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.87%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.72%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.59%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
