Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.97%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 3.23%
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 2.73%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 2.65%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.57%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.99%
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 (11.52%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (10.77%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.27%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.11%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (7.46%)
