Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.92%
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 3.91%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.12%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.79%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.34%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.22%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.63%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (7.99%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.08%) · Wheel bearing slight play (4.54%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.51%)
