Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.86%
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 3.79%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Position lamp not working 3.16%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.02%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 2.81%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.46%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.42%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.51%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (11.16%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.63%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.14%)
