Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.82%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 3.56%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.05%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.8%
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 2.54%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.21%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
