Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.55%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 4.58%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.31%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.16%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.59%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.38%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.52%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.91%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.98%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.43%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (4.27%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.25%)
