Top failures
Headlamp aim set too low 4.28%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Horn not working 4.18%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.48%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.37%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.24%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 2.05%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.51%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (6.41%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.77%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.69%)
