Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.42%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.27%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.01%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.07%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.67%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.56%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.67%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.84%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.51%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (3.89%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.04%)
