Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.48%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.13%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.96%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.7%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.44%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.35%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
