Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 5.81%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.39%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.59%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.51%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.04%
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 0.93%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.36%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.11%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.15%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.31%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.18%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.55%)
