Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.51%
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 2.79%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.04%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.8%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.72%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.72%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (11.08%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.73%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.87%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.55%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.23%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.51%)
