Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.52%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.35%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.02%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.94%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.9%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.73%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.8%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.46%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.7%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.34%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.76%) · Brake discs showing some wear (0.91%)
