Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.85%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.52%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.23%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.16%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 1.65%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Daytime running lamp not working 1.46%
A failed daytime running lamp makes the car less visible to other road users, so it should be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.1%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.63%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.13%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (4.7%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.15%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.56%)
