Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.14%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.98%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.95%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.87%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.79%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.07%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.29%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.07%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.19%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.17%)
