Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.26%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.23%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.15%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.89%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.61%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (12.79%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.03%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.59%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.59%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.71%)
