Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.84%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 7.86%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 7.13%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 5.8%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.59%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Stop lamp not working 4.59%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (19.71%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.59%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.87%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.92%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.57%) · Brake hose ferrule slightly corroded (6.57%)
