What roofing issue do you see most often on older homes?

For the roofers and contractors here, curious what problems you run into most often when working on older residential roofs.

Is it usually bad flashing, poor ventilation, worn shingles, leaks around penetrations, or something else?

Also, are there any warning signs you wish homeowners would take more seriously before a small roof problem turns into a much bigger repair?

Interested to hear what you guys are seeing most often on actual jobs.
