Top failures
Headlamp aim set too low 3.28%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.61%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 2.1%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.56%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.54%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.46%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.68%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.21%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.24%)
