Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.65%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 2.14%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.82%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.54%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.54%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
