Start with missing - it accounts for 43.9% of failed tests on this model.
Then check not working and excessively loose, the next two most common reasons.
The most common advisory is has a serious fluid leak (7.8% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
Average recorded mileage at test is 6,537 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
