Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.43%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.31%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.24%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 1.37%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.27%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.2%
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 (15.8%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.57%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.34%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.68%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.5%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.17%)
