Top failures
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 2.45%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.42%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 1.7%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.6%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.33%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.33%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.87%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.27%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.79%) · Flexible brake hose slightly deteriorated (4.12%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.3%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (3.17%)
