Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.05%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.91%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.42%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.38%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.38%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.33%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.09%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.34%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.18%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.87%)
