Top failures
Lambda reading outside specified limits 1.59%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.29%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.03%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Carbon monoxide high after fast idle 0.99%
High carbon monoxide can point to engine or catalytic converter faults, so ask for diagnosis before buying.
Windscreen washers not working 0.86%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.77%
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 (11.06%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.97%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (4.76%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (4.55%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.03%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (2.57%)
