Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.11%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.86%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.62%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.93%
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 0.81%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Electronic parking brake fault warning lit 0.68%
A fault warning on the electronic parking brake means it may not work properly, so get it checked before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.75%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.47%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.36%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.55%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.8%)
