Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.9%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.58%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.97%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.93%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.87%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (15.93%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.25%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.96%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (4.07%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.38%)
