Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.34%
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 1.26%
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 1.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.11%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.62%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.28%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.76%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.81%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.91%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.84%)
