Top failures
Carbon monoxide high after fast idle 7%
High carbon monoxide can point to engine or catalytic converter faults, so ask for diagnosis before buying.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 5.85%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.14%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Service brakes uneven across an axle 4.61%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Service brake efficiency below minimum 3.99%
The brakes are not stopping the car effectively enough, a serious safety risk that needs urgent repair before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.93%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.51%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.07%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.45%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (5.76%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (5.59%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.23%)
