Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.92%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.64%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.46%
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 1.39%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Position lamp not working 1.28%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.1%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.37%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.21%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (9.88%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.87%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.12%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.39%)
