Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.05%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 4.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 4.09%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.75%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.33%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.13%
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 (12.16%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (8.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.55%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.21%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.07%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6%)
