Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Catalytic converter missing where fitted 0.29%
A missing catalytic converter increases pollution and is illegal, so it must be replaced before driving.
Carbon monoxide high at idle 0.29%
High carbon monoxide at idle can point to fuel or ignition faults, which waste fuel and raise emissions.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.29%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Carbon monoxide high, default limits 0.2%
High carbon monoxide at fast idle suggests engine or exhaust-emission faults, so diagnosis is recommended before buying.
Carbon monoxide high after fast idle 0.2%
High carbon monoxide can point to engine or catalytic converter faults, so ask for diagnosis before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.18%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.78%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (0.69%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.39%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.29%)
