Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.95%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.93%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.59%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.93%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.6%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.39%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.43%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.18%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.12%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.49%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.23%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.92%)
