Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.9%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.39%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.49%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.49%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.12%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.85%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.77%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.77%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.57%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.5%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.5%)
