Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.15%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washers not working 0.57%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.45%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.45%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.32%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.25%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (7.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.25%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.42%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.76%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.53%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.96%)
