Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.23%
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 2.53%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.62%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.53%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Position lamp not working 1.52%
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 0.83%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.68%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.3%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.27%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (3.03%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.34%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.14%)
