Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.7%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 3.07%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 2.89%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.8%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 2.62%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 1.99%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.62%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.29%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (10.03%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.76%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.31%)
