Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.18%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.1%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.62%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.4%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Headlamp aim set too high 1%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.86%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.12%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.66%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.37%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.74%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.01%)
