2Moderate Likelihood

Front brake caliper sticking or seizure

The car may pull slightly when braking, one front wheel gets hotter than the other, or a wheel feels reluctant to roll freely.

How to check

Drive normally, brake a few times from low speed, then stop and notice whether it rolls freely and straight.

Estimated Repair Cost

3Moderate Likelihood

Lighting and minor electrical faults

A warning from another driver, one lamp not working, dim output, or an MOT advisory for lights or aim.

How to check

Use the normal driver controls for headlights, indicators, brake lights, and rear lights during the viewing.
